BRAUN, Adolphe.

Untitled flower study (camellia).

An exquisite monumental flower study by Adolphe Braun (1811–1877). Born in Besançon, Braun’s first career was a designer of textiles, and his first exercises in flower photography in the late 1840s and early 1850s were intended as compositional aids. His album of Fleurs photographiées (1855) brought him wide attention and he established a successful enterprise with his sons, specialising also in Alpine landscapes.

[ATO PHOTOGRAPHIC ASSOCIATION.]

Album of 100 gelatin silver prints of Fuzhou (Foochow) and Yunnan.

Includes panoramas of Fuzhou apparently taken at different dates (the captions state a population of variously 600,000 and 700,000), and scenes of Kunming, the capital of Yunan province. There is an interesting short series on railway engineering in Yunnan province, and images of zinc mining, and poppy cultivation: ‘the law forbids to grow poppies, but, provided the fines imposed be paid, any amount of poppies may be raised. In China, a fine is looked upon as only another name for tax … The opium products in Yunnan takes the first place in all China.’
