Album-photo XIXème: Family Cartier-bresson

Already, in itself, the object is beautiful. His first plate in bas-relief of engraved metals, I think copper, brass and silver with Japanese decorations to the geishas chiselling bonsai as a little boy walks in traditional dress is downright sumptuous and has earned its creator a medal, Gold in 1878, I presume for the universal exhibition that lives 16 million visitors! The content is more mixed: a picture, badly fixed, has rubbed off on the opposite one, some present accidents and the album has the first flat detached from the rest of the binding. Besides Henri, the photographer who is no longer present, the Cartier-Bresson family was also known for its industrial mills. There are classic family photos of the intelligentsia of the time with some big names that are seen on the reverse side of those that have no counterpart on the back: Nadar, René Boivin, Eugene Pirou, Le Blanc , Le Gray, Mediyer, etc ... Some images are missing, but the whole is nevertheless homogeneous and is a beautiful testimony of the allied families: the Merchant, Cartier-Bresson, Blazy, Dormeuil, Delavigne, Persent, etc. Many pictures of children, adorable and quality images.
