Ornament van de Salon d'Angle in het Palais du Louvre te Parijs before 1870

This black and white photograph by Edouard Baldus depicts an elaborate, ornamental detail from the Salon d'Angle in the Palais du Louvre in Paris. The intricate design, which includes a central mascaron (a decorative sculpted face) and a surrounding decorative frame with interlacing patterns and leafy scrolls, is characteristic of the ornate architectural style of the time. The photograph, taken before 1870, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and beauty of the Louvre's interiors. This work is a testament to the artistic skill of Baldus, a pioneer of architectural photography.
