Cathédrale Notre-Dame, façade ouest, Paris. 1857. Salted-paper print, mounted to card. 43,8 x 33,8 cm (mount 63,8 x 48,5 cm). Numbered "34" in the negative at lower right.

Taken from an elevated window in a neighboring building, this frontal view emphasizes the geometric order and sculptural richness of Notre-Dame’s west façade. It was produced during the cathedral’s nineteenth-century restoration, before Viollet-le-Duc’s spire was added, and belongs to Baldus’s numbered views of Paris monuments.
