Exposure du Palais Bourbon Au Profit of the Alsaciens-Lorrain - Van Dyck. The photography is suitable for Adolphe Braun's mid-19th century as a tool to make fabric pattern templates that produced his Elsässer company first drawing. He photographed first plants and still life, but from 1857 is also successful with the sale of stereo pictures of popular travel destinations in Switzerland and Germany. The reproduction of works of art, which he devotes from 1866, but he considered his masterpiece. It is a concern to make appreciation of museums and private collections of a larger public accessible and also usable for educational purposes. Already in front of him, photographers such as Louis Blanquart-Evrard and Roger Fenton tried to play paintings and sculptures, but Braun, which specializes in the carbon printing process, manufactures unusually large-format, qualitatively outstanding and particularly durable images for this time. Under the leadership of his son Henri, excursions are being taken to the museums of Basel, Dresden, Florence, Milan, Rome and Venice, and at the end of 1867, the archive already consists of 2 500 negative plates. Henri Braun continues the company after the death of his father and can conclude in 1883 even a thirty years valid exclusive contract with the Louvre. (Teresa Gruber)
