Bruno Braquehais
Auguste Bruno Braquehais was a French photographer active primarily in Paris in the mid19th century. His photographic work documenting the 1871 Paris Commune is considered an important early example of photojournalism. While largely forgotten after his death, his work was rediscovered during preparations for the Communes centennial in 1971, and his photographs have since been the exhibited at numerous museums, including the Muse dArt et dHistoire, the Muse dOrsay, and the Carnavalet Museum.
Braquehais was born in Dieppe, SeineMaritime, in 1823. Deaf from a young age, he attended the Institut royal des sourds et muets in Paris. He worked as a lithographer in Caen until 1850, when he met photographer Alexis Gouin , and moved to Paris to work in Gouins studio. Gouin specialized in colored daguerreotypes and stereoscopic plates.
