Biography:
After training as a fabric designer, Adolphe Braun changed his career to photography in 1853. He created an album of floral photographs entitled Fleurs photographiees, which earned him a medal at the 1855 Paris Exposition Universelle. In the 1860’s, Braun began creating topographical views across Europe and later made reproductions of artwork. He opened a photography studio that published his images of previously made works of art.
