Not on view

Before the rise of paper photography in the 1850s, artists relied on illustrated publications to reproduce unique daguerreotype views. Girault was familiar with the most ambitious of these publications, Noël-Paymal Lerebours’s Excursions daguerriennes, which first appeared in 1840. Lerebours commissioned and acquired daguerreotypes from around the globe. The Swiss-born entrepreneur Joly contributed the first photograph of the Parthenon, made in October 1839, noting that "each year can bring new changes to the appearance of the celebrated ruins."
