[Roman Arch at Orange], 1851, Salted paper print from paper negative, 35.3 x 26.2 cm (13 7/8 x 10 5/16 in.), Photographs, Édouard Baldus (French, born Prussia, 1813–1889), For the Missions Héliographiques, Baldus made two views of the Roman triumphal arch in the Provençal town of Orange. One shows the monument almost frontally, its visible face in shadow, but with sunlight glinting on the far edges of the arched openings; a man sits contemplatively on a stone beneath the central arch and another man stands nearby; through the arches, rows of poplars, a few houses, and the nearby hills are visible; the dark and imposing Roman arch frames nature, the contemporary town, and man
