The Paris-based brothers Louis-Auguste and Auguste-Rosalie Bisson were noted for their large-format architectural photographs, publishing an extensive survey of European monuments between 1853 and 1862. This finely detailed view of Amiens Cathedral emphasizes its soaring buttresses, pinnacles and radiating chapels, with the statue of Pierre l’Ermite providing a sense of scale in the foreground.
