An exquisite monumental flower study by Adolphe Braun (1811–1877). Born in Besançon, Braun’s first career was a designer of textiles, and his first exercises in flower photography in the late 1840s and early 1850s were intended as compositional aids. His album of Fleurs photographiées (1855) brought him wide attention and he established a successful enterprise with his sons, specialising also in Alpine landscapes.
