介绍（中）	聚集在巴黎郊区一家新建疗养医院光线充足的餐厅里，病人和工作人员都将目光转向了房间一端拿着巨大相机的查尔斯·奈格里。这张照片是奈格里受委托制作的一系列照片中最大、最吸引人的一张，是文森斯帝国庇护院的文件和庆祝活动。这家医院是由拿破仑三世皇帝建立的，旨在为建筑工地或工厂中的伤员提供服务——用拿破仑的一位部长的话来说，这是"工人真正的荣誉领域"，其护理程度堪比国家退伍军人与罗杰·芬顿（Roger Fenton）和古斯塔夫·勒·格雷（Gustave Le Gray。在这里，他抓住流动的阳光作为一种载体，活跃了他的照片的结构和质感，并建议医院居民加强活动和健康。
介绍（英）	Gathered in the light-drenched refectory of a newly constructed convalescent hospital on the outskirts of Paris, patients and staff alike turned their eyes and attention to the man with the enormous camera at one end of the room, Charles Nègre. The resulting image, here in a rare unmounted and unretouched proof print from the artist's studio, is the largest and most engaging in a series of photographs that Nègre was commissioned to make as documentation and celebration of the Imperial Asylum at Vincennes. The hospital was established by Emperor Napoléon III to provide those injured on the construction site or in the factory—"the worker's true field of honor," in the words of one of Napoléon's ministers—with care comparable to that given to the nation's military veterans. Trained as a painter in the same studio as Roger Fenton and Gustave Le Gray, Nègre was one of the era's most skilled photographers of architecture, possessing a particular sensitivity to the ways in which light and shadow animate the surfaces of centuries-old monuments. Here, he seized upon the streaming sunlight as a vehicle to enliven the structure and texture of his picture and to suggest enhanced activity and health in the hospital inhabitants.
