The author of this daguerreotype is still unknown. The plate is quite thick, and one wonders if it was bent in a panoramic camera to like those invented by Martens. Napoleon Garella was developing in 1848 a new device to non-flexible plates straightened inversion. Other rooms were built later, inspired by the discoveries of Martens and Garella. The plate daguerreotype is not flexible and is smaller than those of Martens, kept at the National Museum of Technology. The dimensions of this daguerreotype are similar to those described by Peuvion in 1850 (13 x 38.5 cm) but here the picture is not rectified. Moreover, among the eight scenic daguerreotypes known in Paris, he is the only one with a cloudy sky, which was at the time a real performance.
