Henri Godefroy (1837-1913), photographe du Vieux Paris

Discover Henri Godefroy (1837-1913), the first photographer commissioned by the Commission du Vieux Paris in 1898 and founder, in the early 1900s, of an exceptionally inventive author's museum dedicated to his passion, Vieux Paris. A daring artist and virtuoso of photomontage, sometimes a forerunner of humanist photography, Henri Godefroy could also transform a commissioned architectural photograph into a genre scene of remarkable composition.

An exhibition by the Bibliothèque historique de la Ville de Paris.
