介绍（中）	19世纪法国的城市化项目要求摄影不仅要记录建筑外部的装饰细节，还要记录建筑的施工进度。拉丰掌握了这种类型的工业图像，为此他在1874年的法国摄影学会展览上获得了奖牌。这张照片简洁地捕捉到了一座建筑的施工过程，该建筑将现代钢铁框架施工技术与砖石等传统材料相结合。除了展示建筑的进展，该图像还提供了一个引人注目的现代劳动画面。穿着深色衣服的商人栖息在剃刀般细的横梁上，在天空中勾勒出引人注目的轮廓，而穿着宽松白色罩衫的非熟练工人则坐立不安，几乎不敬地沿着木制脚手架摇摆，这表明拉丰的大型湿板相机曝光了几秒钟。在中心的左边，一位现场工程师穿着定制的夹克，戴着短边帽，似乎在处理一张卷起的图纸，就像拉丰的照片一样，这张图纸将揭示建筑从最初方案到最终形状的路径。
介绍（英）	The urbanization projects of nineteenth-century France called on photography to record not only the ornamental details of a building’s exterior but also the progression of its construction. Lafon mastered this type of industrial imagery, a pursuit for which he was awarded a medal at the 1874 exhibition of the Société française de photographie. This photograph succinctly captures the construction of a building that integrated modern techniques of iron and steel-frame construction with traditional materials like brick masonry. In addition to showing the progress of construction, the image offers a striking tableau of modern labor. Tradesmen in dark clothing perch atop the razor-thin beams and cut dramatic silhouettes against the sky, while unskilled laborers cloaked in loose white smocks fidget and sway almost irreverently along wooden scaffolding, indicating the seconds-long exposure of Lafon’s large wet-plate camera. Left of center, in a tailored jacket and short-brimmed hat, an onsite engineer appears to handle a rolled-up drafting sheet that, like Lafon’s photograph, would reveal the building’s path from initial scheme to final shape.
