In 1899, when Félix Nadar used his camera to document the damage to his studio in Marseille caused by the construction of the building next door, the point was clearly to provide evidence to the insurance companies. The series portrays the damage done to his premises, and includes outdoor views of both buildings, from different angles, in order to make the cause of the problem clear.
