Description: Paris, St. Cloud, Versailles & Trianons: 54 Photogravures de N.D. Phot. Hardcover, measures about 10 7/8" x 7 1/2". There is one photograph on each two-sided page (the reverse side of each page is blank). All edges gilt. The book is in nice condition. All 54 photos are present. The top and bottom of the spine are frayed. There is some minor scuffing to the covers. There is a small bookstore sticker (Au Main Bleu, Paris) inside the front cover. There are no bookplates, ink names, or pen/pencil notations. We estimate the publication date to be 1900 because the street scenes show a mix of horse-drawn vehicles and early automobiles. "N.D. Phot." was a trade name for the Neurdein studio. The Neurdein firm was founded in 1864 by Etienne Neurdein, son of the photographer Charlet. His brother Antonin soon joined him. This was at first a typical Parisian studio, where people could have their photos taken or buy historical portraits sold as calling cards, but in the 1870s the firm began to target a curious and well-off clientele with its production and sale of tourist views. The number of trips increased, to North Africa, through-out Europe, with the operators bringing back to Paris boxes filled with exotic views which were very popular at the end of the 19th century. The two brothers became nationally famous when they photographed the Paris World Fairs of 1889 and 1900, publishing their photographs in the magazines of the time and in prestigious albums. The Neurdein firm's editorial activities made it one of the pioneers in the field of publishing photographs : its postcards, published under the brands ND and X were widely distributed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our father was a bibliophile who collected rare books, letters, and ephemera for more than 60 years.
