Summary[edit]
DescriptionParthenon 1839.jpg |
English: Engraving of the first photograph of the Parthenon. Daguerreotype photograph taken by Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière in October, 1839. Engraved by Frédéric Martens. Published in Excursions daguerriennes by Noël Paymal Lerebours in 1841. Excerpts from the accompanying text, written by Pierre-Gustave Joly, published in Excursions daguerriennes (this text is in the public domain, like the image): "This view was taken in the autumn of 1839 ; I mention it, because it is the first time that the image of the Parthenon is fixed on a plate by the ingenious method of Daguerre, and because each year could bring new changes to the look of those famous ruins: a catastrophe could collapse them tomorrow, or a friendly and generous hand could raise those marbles scattered on the ground, and restore into an imposing whole what was the most beautiful of temples. [...] A mosque occupies a part of the interior, it is now used to store the precious debris found during the excavations of the Acropolis. Once, there had been a gunpowder magazine on the same spot, it caused, when it exploded, the collapse of a large part of the temple. On the columns, many white spots can be seen, they are chips of marble removed by bullets and cannonballs during the last war." Français : Gravure de la première photographie du Parthénon. Photographie daguerréotype prise par Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière en octobre 1839. Gravée par Frédéric Martens. Publiée dans Excursions daguerriennes par Noël Paymal Lerebours en 1841. Extraits du texte d'accompagnement publié dans Excursions daguerriennes, rédigé par Pierre-Gustave Joly (ce texte est dans le domaine public, comme l'image) : « Cette vue a été prise à l'automne de l'année 1839 ; je tiens à le constater, parce que c'est la première fois que l'image du Parthénon a été fixée sur une planche par le procédé si ingénieux de Daguerre, et parce que chaque année peut amener de nouveaux changements dans l'apparence de ces ruines célèbres : une catastrophe peut les bouleverser demain, comme aussi une main amie et généreuse peut relever ces marbres épars sur le terrain, et rendre à ce qui fut le plus beau des temples un ensemble imposant. [...] Une mosquée occupe une partie de l'intérieur, elle sert maintenant à conserver les débris précieux que l'on trouve dans les fouilles de l'Acropolis. Il existait autrefois une poudrière sur le même emplacement, elle a causé, en sautant, la chute d'une grande partie du temple. L'on remarque sur les colonnes de nombreuses taches blanches, ce sont les éclats de marbres enlevés par les balles et les boulets pendant la dernière guerre. » |
