Garden Front of Palais Eynard, Geneva (daguerreotype (photograph); Jean-Gabriel Eynard (Swiss, 1775-1863) ; June 1851; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 84.XT.255.20)

Note: With the fortune Jean-Gabriel Eynard acquired as a financier during the Napoleonic wars in the early 1800s, he and his wife built a splendid house in Geneva. Several architects contributed to its design, but Madame Eynard, a talented amateur artist, played an important part in determining its layout and decor. Completed in 1820, the house was backed by a modest garden, from which Eynard made this daguerreotype view of the garden front, its entrance shaded by a striped awning. The house now belongs to the city of Geneva, and its formal drawing rooms are now restored and used for receptions.
