Gezicht op (vermoedelijk) Parijs before 1905

"Gezicht op (vermoedelijk) Parijs" is an early photograph by Hippolyte Bayard, a pioneering French photographer. The small-format image, dating from before 1905, captures a view of a city, likely Paris, and showcases Bayard's early experimentation with the medium of photography. The image provides a glimpse into the early history of photography and its evolving techniques. Bayard's work, often overshadowed by the fame of other early photographers like Daguerre, was instrumental in the development of the art form, particularly in the realm of direct-positive paper photography.
