Notes:From a modern portfolio produced in 1984 containing ten photogravures printed by Pierre Brochet and based on Negre's 1854 portfolio ‘Le Midi de la France’, in an edition of 45 copies published by the French Ministry of Culture, under the direction of Joseph Nègre and Alain Paviot.
Charles Nègre, (born May 9, 1820, Grasse, France—died January 16, 1880, Grasse), French painter and photographer best known for his photographs of Paris street scenes and architectural monuments, notably the Notre-Dame and Chartres cathedrals. In 1851 Nègre became one of the founding members of the Société Héliographique, the first photographic society, whose members included photographers, scientists, and intellectuals. His early photographs taken outside the studio were street scenes that attempted to capture movement among street vendors, musicians, chimney sweeps, and the like. He invented a system of multiple lenses that would allow him to capture motion, which he succeeded in doing in photographs such as Market Scene at the Port de L’Hotel de Ville, Paris (1851) and Chimney Sweeps Walking (1851). When Nègre was not chosen by the government in 1851 to go on a Mission Héliographique—a survey of the country’s architecture to help determine preservation and restoration needs—he embarked on his own photographic expedition to the south of France, where in 1852 he documented the Midi region. He compiled his many calotypes from that trip into a book, Le Midi de la France: sites et monuments historiques photographié (1854–55).

2014 King County Metro Bus Shelter Photomurals
Through a partnership with 4Culture, Photo Center Northwest and Youth in Focus, King County Metro installed 101 new photo panorama artworks in Metro shelters. The artworks include photos from 58 U.S. artists as well as teenage photographers in collaboration with Youth in Focus. The 101 2’ by 8’ photomurals were assembled into bus shelters which have been installed throughout King County. This is the 4th year of the Photomural Project: City Panoramas. A total of 481 photographic murals have been installed in Metro bus shelters. This Flickr site shows the 101 photomurals installed as part of the 2014 Projects.
