Nadar!

Le Journal amusant, 07/06/1861
(Patrick Ballanger, French to English translation, 31 August 2020)
Photography has, thanks to Nadar, its temple on the boulevard, where his works of art are exhibited,
And when the day escapes, without a sound, to leave its place to night,
When each photographer closes his studio, Nadar with his big signature,
Has his all open, all bright, streaming like hell,
Invoking a magical secret, Nadar operates with electric light!
