Shelley Rice's superb PARISIAN VIEWS is a stimulating collection of essays on aspects of 19th century photography in Paris, especially during that period of time in which Baron Haussmann was in charge of gutting medieval Paris and rebuilding it as the city we know today. Like a flaneur, the essays range almost randomly over a host of subjects, overlapping to a great deal in the end, but not having a particular or central thesis that permeates them all.

During the Second Empire (1852-1870), Baron Haussmann and Emperor Napoleon. Details (if other): Cancel. Thanks for telling us about the problem.

In Parisian Views, Shelley Rice explores not only the literal connections between photography and the transformation . This is a fascinating book on a topic that, astonishingly, has received little treatment, and certainly not at all in the broad cultural context that Rice proposes.

In Parisian Views, Shelley Rice explores not only the literal connections between photography and the transformation of Paris but also the metaphorical ones. For like Haussmann and Napoleon III, the photographers forged a new visual image of the city. Rice has written here photographic history, art history, urban history, social history, psycho-history. But after all, that's what many of us have been trying to write for a long time.

Publisher's Description. The reconstruction of Paris during the Second Empire-the widening of its boulevards, the demolishion of its slums-in many ways marked the eginning of the modern era. Shelly Rice's fascinating study explores the ways in which photography recorded and influenced the changes in Paris, through the officially commisioned work of Marville, Le Secq, Baldus, and Le Gray, among others. An important text about the most photographed city in the world.
