Ildefonse Rousset is well known to enthusiasts for the nature photographs of the two books he illustrated, "Tour de Marne" in 1864 and "Bois de Vincennes" in 1865. The prints presented here come from the studio of the painter Édouard Detaille and date from the early days of his work, probably in 1863. They clearly reveal the influence of Hippolyte Bayard. These views, taken in a rural setting, against a backdrop of barns and farm buildings, these arrangements of tools and objects used in the rural world, these thematic settings of peasants in working clothes, these groups of children posing before the lens, form meticulously prepared "tableaux".
