Forest of Fontainebleau. 1870-1874. 6 albumen prints from wet-collodion glass negatives, mounted on blue card. Each ca. 18,8 x 24,6 cm to 21 x 28,5 cm (mounts 35 x 51 cm). Most with faint "C. FAMIN PHOTOGRAPHE PARIS" blindstamp; numbered in the negatives and in pencil on the mounts, including 190, 202, 232, 245 and 258. Each mount stamped "PHOTOGRAPHIES ARTISTIQUES / A. FONCELLE / 3 QUAI MALAQUAIS."

Famin’s Fontainebleau photographs, issued from the 1860s, belong to a body of work that served both as landscape studies in their own right and as visual resources for painters working in and around Barbizon. This coherent selection concentrates on winding paths, monumental trees and quiet woodland interiors. The serial numbering and matching Foncelle mounts show the prints as part of Famin’s marketed series, rather than as later assembled views. Their shifting formats - from broad landscape studies to intimate vertical portraits of ancient trees - give the group both visual rhythm and a strong unity of place.
