EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating 1854 photographic print, showcases the atmospheric allure of a shadowed street in France, famously known as "The Street of the Bad Boys." This rare example, acquired by the esteemed National Art Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia, under the terms of the Felton Bequest for a remarkable £290 in 1923, presents two enigmatic figures in deep conversation. The proof on Chinese paper, with its rich tonal contrasts and intriguing composition, transports viewers to the heart of 19th-century Paris. The dark figures, shrouded in the gloom of the narrow alleyway, evoke an air of mystery and intrigue. The use of Chinese paper, an unusual choice for European photographers of the time, adds a layer of exoticism to the image. Charles Meryon, the masterful French photographer, captured this scene with an uncanny ability to convey the mood and essence of urban life. His innovative approach to photographic techniques and his fascination with the grittier aspects of city life set him apart from his contemporaries. The acquisition of this precious piece by the National Art Gallery of Victoria not only adds to their impressive collection but also underscores the gallery's commitment to preserving and showcasing the works of influential artists from around the world. This photograph, a testament to Meryon's artistic vision and the rich history of French street life, continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
