Toulon. Artist: Édouard Baldus (French, born Prussia, 1813-1889). Dimensions: Image: 30.7 x 43.6 cm (12 1/16 x 17 3/16 in.)Mount: 46 x 60.5 cm (18 1/8 x 23 13/16 in.). Date: ca. 1861.In July 1861 the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) Railroad commissioned Baldus to produce an album of views of the rail constructions and principal sites served by the line between Lyon, Marseille, and Toulon. In the album, Chemins de fer de Paris à Lyon et à la Méditerranée, Baldus intermixed his landscape and architectural images with bold, geometric views of the modern landscape-railroad tracks, stations, bridges, viaducts, and tunnels-effectively addressing the influence of technology (of which both the railroad and the camera were prime examples) on the world and its representation.In the final pair of images in the PLM album, Ollioules Gorge and Toulon, Baldus restated the central theme of the volume: wilderness and civilization-Nature and Man. Ollioules Gorge is barren and untamed landscape. By contras
