From the Cleveland Museum of Art record
Baldus took up photography in the 1840s and became renowned for his architectural views. In 1854, he was commissioned to record construction of the New Louvre, Emperor Napoleon III’s project to build wings that would join the Louvre and Tuileries Palaces and create a vast courtyard. Like many early photographers, Edouard Baldus began as a painter.
