Pierre Ambroise Richebourg was a Paris-based photographer who specialized in the systematic documentation of architecture, interiors, and official events, contributing to the visual representation of the Second French Empire. The photographs presented here belong to the album Souvenir du séjour de Leurs Majestés Impériales à Lyon, produced on the occasion of the visit of Napoleon III and Empress Eugenie to Lyon in August 1860. The majority of the images depict the interiors of the Hôtel de Ville de Lyon prepared for the imperial visit, while one photograph records a large military review held in honor of the occasion.
