Notes: This plate is part of a series of 100 published by Baldus in 1884 showing the reconstruction of the Hotel de Ville in Paris following its destruction during the Paris Commune of 1871. It was Baldus last project; he declared bankruptcy in 1897 and died two years later. The photographer Édouard Baldus (1813–1889), a central figure in the early development of French photography and acknowledged in his day as a pioneer in the still-experimental field, was widely acclaimed both for his aesthetic sensitivity and for his technical prowess. Establishing a new mode of representing architecture and describing the emerging modern landscape with magnificent authority, he enjoyed high patronage in the 1850s and 1860s. Yet, despite the artist's renown during his lifetime, his name is all but unknown today, his work savored only by connoisseurs. Baldus made his reputation with views of the monuments of Paris and the south of France, with dramatic landscapes of the Auvergne, with photographs of the New Louvre, and with a poignant record of the devastating floods of 1856. But it is his two railroad albums—the first commissioned in 1855 by Baron James de Rothschild for presentation to Queen Victoria, the second in 1861 by the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranee railroad company—that are his greatest achievement. Here he brought together his earlier architectural and scenic images with bold geometric views of the modern landscape—railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels—to address the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera are prime examples). In so doing, Baldus anticipated the concerns of Impressionist painters a decade later and those of many artists of our own day, meeting his task with a clarity and directness not since surpassed. Beginning in the mid 1860s with this publication, and lasting until the early 1880s, Baldus primary commercial activity centered on the production of photogravures, a process he first explored in 1854. This work had nothing to do with promoting artistic photography or his own photographic work; instead it was an industrial application of photography that brought credit and financial gain to Baldus as an inventor and entrepreneur rather than an artist.

I was cycling through Rotterdam when I saw this weird object in the sky. It was not too big, I guess 1 meter maximum. It seemed to float along with the wind. It was gone in 30 seconds or so. Don't know what it is. It doesn't look like debris of a toy balloon.

Our sight is the most perfect and most delightful of all our senses. It fills the mind with the largest variety of ideas, converses with its objects at the greatest distances, and continues the longest in action without being tired or satiated with its proper enjoyment.

Sahara by Wendy Bernard. I actually finished this a few weeks ago. I think this is my favorite pattern I've ever knitted. Its so well written and finishes beautifully. Yarn is the supercool Katia Diana.

I was wondering what these things are in the Beacons. They are think steel, and also a few sets of little wheels scattered around. They are about half a mile down the valley from Llyn Cwm LLwch - very odd.
