Zone du contenu et de la structure

Portée et contenu

This collection contains commercial photographic products and records of E. Baudoux and Son Ltd (1869-1887). The collection is predominantly made up collodion glass plate negatives and albumen prints in various mounted and unmounted formats. As was common for commercial studios at the time they produced individual and group portraits, views of the built and natural environment and social events. Ernest's technical ability and use of high quality processes single the collection as one of particular value for researchers. High resolution scans of the collodion negatives offer a level or detail that far surpasses that of later photographic processes and mass market digital cameras.
