Canal St. Martin 1860

"Canal St. Martin" is a 1860 photograph by French photographer, Charles-François-Auguste Franck, showcasing the architectural grandeur of the Canal St. Martin in Paris. The photograph captures the tunnel's vaulted ceiling, stone walls, and the shimmering reflection of light from the canal's surface. This photograph, now at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the artistic potential of early photography to document and represent urban landscapes.
