介绍（中）	除了更传统的花卉构图外，Aubry还对叶片进行了研究，无论是单独的还是成组的，将其浸在灰泥中，并用斜光拍摄，以揭示其精致的形状和结构。在它们被采摘的自然世界和雕刻奖杯、印花壁纸和编织地毯的王国之间，奥布里的叶子拥有非凡的雕塑感，巧妙地融合了自然美和风格美 1864年，奥布里是一名摄影新手，在那之前，他一直是一名装饰艺术设计师。他在摄影方面的自我教育和"模仿自然"的树叶研究是在法国装饰艺术陷入危机之际进行的，当时英国的竞争对手似乎在工业品设计方面超过了法国，尤其是对中产阶级和下层阶级而言。奥布里希望提供部分解决方案，并在这个过程中获利，他建议法国政府购买他的数百张照片系列，分发给法国各地的艺术和工业学校。然而，他高估了政府支持的潜力，并预计设计课程会发生从未完全实现的变化；到1865年1月，他被迫宣布破产。
介绍（英）	In addition to more traditional floral compositions, Aubry produced studies of leaves, individual or grouped, dipped in plaster and photographed with raking light to reveal their exquisite forms and structures. Halfway between the natural world from which they were plucked and the realm of carved trophies, printed wallpaper, and woven carpets that they were meant to serve, Aubry's leaves possess an extraordinary sculptural presence and skillfully blend natural and stylized beauty. In 1864 Aubry was a newcomer to photography, having spent his entire career until then as a designer of decorative arts. His self-education in photography and his creation of leaf studies "after nature" came at a moment of crisis in French decorative arts, when British competitors seemed to have surpassed the French in the design of industrial goods, particularly for the middle and lower classes. Hoping to provide part of the solution-and to profit in the process-Aubry proposed that the French government purchase his series of several hundred photographs for distribution to art and industrial schools throughout France. He overestimated the potential of government support, however, and anticipated a change in the design curriculum that never wholly materialized; by January 1865 he was forced to declare bankruptcy.
