Louis Lafon

Tubular Jetty, Mouth of the Adour, Port of Bayonne. 1892.

Louis Lafon was a French photographer active between the 1870s and 1890s.[1] He is noted for having photographed industrial scenes as well as landscapes involving man-made artifacts.[2]

Work

The Metropolitan Museum of Art has written about Lafon, “He was based in Paris, photographed primarily industrial subjects, and won a medal for his submissions to the 1874 exhibition of the Société Française de Photographie.”[3]

Lafon used the albumen print technique, which produces a glossy surface on the images.[4]

Lafon created a large scale (by 19th c. standards) photograph (now in the collection of Princeton University Library) of a high-speed printing press fabricated by Hippolyte Marinoni (Presse Universelle). The press revolutionized the mechanical reproduction industry.[3]

Collections

Lafon's work is included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[5] the National Gallery of Art, Washington,[6] the Clark Art Institute,[7] and the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.[1]
