介绍（中）	罗曼练习了几种冶金，从金饰到镜子制作，这反过来又为他在摄影化学方面的专业知识做出了贡献。尽管罗曼是当地典型的摄影师，但他在制作纸质底片方面的手工创新在巴黎摄影界赢得了赞誉，当时这一工艺正迅速被玻璃底片取代。罗曼用这张蜡纸底片展示了他的技术技巧，底片描绘了1843年开始在阿尔勒制造的一种机车模型。阿尔勒以其古老的废墟和罗马式教堂而闻名，是巴黎-里昂-梅迪特拉内（PLM）铁路上一个车站的所在地。机车模型在这个超大的底片上切割出如此锋利的轮廓，使其呈现出不朽的外观，这得益于Roman在底片的最顶部添加了黑色墨水，以将机器与周围环境隔离开来。这一结果证明了摄影处理尺寸和比例的能力，并支持了火车头和相机之间经常重复的类比，这两项现代发明极大地扩展了19世纪观众的空间和时间参数。
介绍（英）	Roman practiced several kinds of metallurgy, from goldsmithing to mirror making, which in turn contributed to his expertise in photographic chemistry. Although he was a prototypical local photographer, Roman garnered praise in Parisian photographic circles for his artisanal innovations in making paper negatives at a time when this process was quickly being supplanted by glass negatives. Roman demonstrated his technical skill with this large waxed paper negative depicting a model of a kind of locomotive manufactured in Arles beginning in 1843. Best known for its ancient ruins and romanesque churches, Arles was home to a station on the Paris-Lyon-Méditerranée (PLM) Railroad. The model locomotive cuts such a sharp profile in this oversized negative that it takes on a monumental appearance, aided by Roman’s addition of black ink on the topmost portion of the negative to isolate the machine from its surroundings. The result testifies to photography’s ability to play with size and scale, and lends support to the often repeated analogy between the locomotive and the camera, two modern inventions that dramatically expanded the parameters of space and time for nineteenth-century audiences.
