介绍（中）	对于传教士Héliographiques，Baldus对普罗旺斯奥兰治镇的罗马凯旋门进行了两次观察。其中一幅几乎正面显示了纪念碑，其可见的脸在阴影中，但阳光在拱形开口的远处边缘闪闪发光;一个男人坐在中央拱门下方的一块石头上沉思，另一个人站在附近;透过拱门，可以看到一排排杨树、几栋房子和附近的山丘;黑暗而雄伟的罗马拱门勾勒出自然、当代城镇和人类的轮廓。这是一个可能由画家、绘图员或版画家描绘的场景。巴尔杜斯的另一张照片是1851年的照片，在强烈的阳光下以轻微的角度展示了对面的拱门。该结构是一块巨大的石头，一个孤立的物体，它的三个拱形开口由平坦、强烈黑暗的阴影条描述，赋予图像图形力量。Baldus的助手直立在画面的中心，一个无生命的测量棒，而不是观众的另一个自我。在1851年的这个单一地点，巴尔杜斯展示了两种美学倾向 - 风景如画的场景渲染和建筑主题的对象化 - 这种极性在他的整个职业生涯中不同程度地影响了他的工作。
介绍（英）	For the Missions Héliographiques, Baldus made two views of the Roman triumphal arch in the Provençal town of Orange. One shows the monument almost frontally, its visible face in shadow, but with sunlight glinting on the far edges of the arched openings; a man sits contemplatively on a stone beneath the central arch and another man stands nearby; through the arches, rows of poplars, a few houses, and the nearby hills are visible; the dark and imposing Roman arch frames nature, the contemporary town, and man. This is a scene that might have been depicted by a painter, draftsman, or printmaker. Baldus' other photograph from 1851, shown here, presents the arch from the opposite side at a slight angle in strong sunlight. The structure is a massive block of stone, an isolated object, its three arched openings described by flat, intensely dark swaths of shadow that impart a graphic power to the image. Baldus' assistant stands erect at the center of the picture, an inanimate measuring rod rather than the viewer's alter ego. At this single site in 1851, Baldus demonstrated two aesthetic tendencies-the picturesque rendering of a scene and the objectification of an architectural subject-a polarity that affected his work in varying degrees throughout his career.
