"Édouard-Denis Baldus was among a group of photographers selected in 1851 by the French government's Historic Monuments Commission to document the nation's historic and contemporary architectural achievements. He used 'mammoth plates' – large glass negatives the same size as the prints (about 80 x 60 cm, or 32 x 24 inches) to photograph the recently completed buildings which were additions to the Louvre Museum. The results show superb clarity of detail while conveying the imposing scale and grandeur of the buildings."
