French studio photographer Adolphe Braun began making photographs of animals as visual aids for painters who were unable to observe these subjects directly from nature. He quickly shifted from producing merely useful images to creating staged compositions that were modeled after painted still lifes. Often quite large in scale, these photographs were intended as artworks in their own right, designed to compete with decorative lithographs of more expensive paintings.
