Photo from 1878 by Félix Tournachon known as Nadar.

Superb portrait of the great man, arms crossed and looking into the distance.

In 1860, Félix Nadar founded the Atelier Nadar, 35 boulevard des Capucines, a veritable glass palace dedicated to photography.

In 1872, facing financial difficulties, he was forced to transfer the said workshop to more modest premises, rue d'Anjou.
