Our Spring 2025 exhibition presents a collection of large albumen prints by Médéric Mieusement and his successor Paul Robert as well as a few by Jean Eugène Durand (JED).
These prints were commissioned by the Commission Nationale des Monuments Historiques and most have a Monuments Historiques blindstamp, usually on the lower right of the prints.
In 1872, Mieusement, in a letter addressed to the Education minister, emphasizes the immense benefit of creating a photographique record of all the monuments presenting a
historical, architectural, artistic or picturesque interest.
Many of the photographs in this collection also have a Paul Robert blindstamp (usually lower left), J. Kuhn, editor in Paris (usually lower right) and/or A.C. Champagne wetstamp on the back. A few of the photographs have Mieusement's blindstamp or Durand / JED in the negative.
