Jules Eugène AUCLAIR (1895-1949), tourist and documentary photographer, 95 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, Paris 10th arrondissement.
Auclair's iconographic production is part of the French collective heritage because it was seen by generations of SNCF travellers, one of his main sponsors.
Between 1929 and 1939, he produced a series called La France Voyageuse in which he photographed landscapes, churches, and monuments with rigorous framing and a sense of detail that falls within the tradition of the French photographic gaze.
