Henri Rivière (Paris, 1864 - Sucy-en-Brie, 1951), painter-engraver and illustrator, also practiced photography from the 1880s.
The Henri Rivière collection consists of 141 photographs (silver prints and cyanotypes). The first part of this collection entered the Musée d'Orsay in 1986 thanks to a donation of 58 snapshots representing the Eiffel Tower and the shadow theater of the Chat Noir cabaret taken between 1887 and 1894. This collection was then enriched by a purchase, in 1987, of eighty-three snapshots taken in Paris or Brittany between 1889 and 1900 from the collection of Miss Geneviève Noufflard.
The Musée d'Orsay also has 45 other works by Henri Rivière in its photographic collection, including 27 prints of the Eiffel Tower from the Gustave Eiffel collection acquired in 1981, and eighteen glass negatives, acquired in 2011, illustrating the work and completion of the Eiffel Tower's construction. This is what this new opus presents in the "36 vues" collection published by Locus Solus and published for the first time.
