CHARLES MARVILLE (1813-1879) Rue des Déchargeurs
CHARLES MARVILLE (1813-1879)
Rue des Déchargeurs, de la Rue de Rivoli. Albumen print, the image measuring 11x10 inches (29.5x25.7 cm.), the two-toned mount 24x16¼ inches (61x41.3 cm.), with Marville's Photographe Du Musée Impérial Du Louvre blind stamp and a location, in pencil, on mount recto. Circa 1865
Around 1832 Parisian-born Charles-François Bossu (1813–1879) changed his unfortunate last name ("bossu" means hunchback in French) and adopted the pseudonym Marville, which also transformed his identity. By 1850 he began taking poetic photographs throughout Old Paris, a project that foreshadows the work of another great French artist, Eugène Atget.
