Ferrier (1860-64). Soulier was among the first to take naturalistic, snapshot-like views of Paris. His city street scenes were represented in an extensive set of glass stereographs, a medium preferred by Soulier for the delicacy of its reproductive range. Panoramas of the city were considered his specialty.\r\n\tIn 1859 Soulier photographed Napol\u00e9on III on his campaign in Austria; he was later named photographer to the emperor. He became a member of the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 fran\u00e7aise de photographie in 1867 and in 1871 documented activities of the Paris Commune. His work includes topographical, urban, and landscape views, among them images of Mt. Blanc and other European scenery, as well as photographic reproductions of artwork. T.W.F.",
