Artist Biography: Painter, draughtsman, lithographer, heliographer. Settled in Paris by 1838. Learned photography by 1849. Photographed actively through 1850s and early 1860s (primarily landscapes and architecture); photogravure publications of his work continued during the 1870s. Processes: wet or dry paper negatives, collodion plates, albumenized gelatinized papers. Name thought to be Edouard-Denis Baldus, but 1994 catalogue (Metropolitan Museum exhibition) by Malcolm Daniel, et al, argues convincingly for the name as simply Edouard Baldus.
