"Bacot Edmond: Capturing the Architectural Beauty of 19th Century France" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the stunning architectural wonders of 19th century France through the lens of Edmond Bacot. With his keen eye for detail, Bacot beautifully captured iconic landmarks such as Vue generale de Rouen, Abbaye aux Dames et Hospice in Caen, Fontaine de la Croix de Pierre in Rouen, Cathedrale de Louviers, and Notre Dame de Bonsecours near Rouen. Bacot's photographs transport us to a bygone era where Gothic cathedrals stood tall and proud against the skyline. The Haut de Portail on Cote de la Place at Cathedrale de Rouen showcases intricate stonework that leaves us marveling at the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Meanwhile, Saint-Maclou in Rouen exudes an air of mystique with its ornate carvings and delicate stained glass windows. Not limited to grand structures alone, Bacot also captures everyday life through his lens. Rue des Petits Murs in Caen takes us down a charming street lined with quaint houses that whisper stories from centuries past. Poissonerie in Caen invites us into a bustling marketplace where locals gather to purchase fresh seafood. Venturing beyond cityscapes, Bacot explores Chateau de Martainville—a majestic castle steeped in history—where we can almost hear echoes of nobles who once roamed its halls. And let's not forget Escalier de la Basse Vieille Cour in Rouen—an enchanting staircase that leads us deeper into the heart of this ancient city. Through these photographs created between 1852-54 by Edmond Bacot himself, we are transported back to an era when architecture was celebrated as artistry. Each image tells a story—a testament to human ingenuity and the timeless beauty of France's architectural heritage.
