En esta fotografía cabe destacar que al ser una casa aislada , el fotógrafo puede tomar un punto de vista más alejado y menos frontal para la realización de la foto lo que, unido a los cables de la luz, permite dar profundidad a la imagen.

Lampúe fue el fotógrafo de la Escuela de Arquitectura de París como nos indica el indice del álbum, al cual pertenece esta fotografía "Façades de Maison, Villas et hôtels particuliers à Paris et aux environs", formado por 40 fotografias. La edición del álbum la realiza E. Ducher una de las librerías editoriales más importantes de Paris. La obra fotográfica de Lampúe se encuentra en grandes museos como son, entre otros, el Getty Museum y el Museo d' Orsay de París.

Por último señalar que Lampúe fue, además de fotógrafo, político que ejerció como tal en el Ayuntamiento de Paris. Es más, Lampúe , al final de su vida dejó la fotografía para dedicarse exclusivamente a la política

 Lampúe se hizo famoso por una fuerte controversia que mantuvo a través de la prensa con los pintores cubistas.

.. The subject of an interpellation in the Chambre des Députés. Following the lead of a municipal councillor and amateur photographer named Lampué, who had written an open letter to Monsieur Bérard, Under-Secretary in the Ministry of Fine Arts, in the Mercure de France:
 ....That access to all public building should be denied " to a gang of criminals who behave  in the art world like yobs and delinquents.

a Socialist deputy, Monsieur Jean Louis Breton, demanded that measures be taken to prevent the Cubists from exhibiting at the Salon d'Automne
....'Il est absolument inadmissible que nos palais nationaux puissent servir à des manifestations d'un caractère aussi nettement antiartistique et antinational.' .
The attack was answered by Marcel Sembat
 'Quand un tableau vous semble mauvais,' he declared, 'Vous avez un incontestable droit: celui de ne pas le regarder et d'aller en voir d'autres. Mais on n'appelle pas les gendarmes.'

     Photographies de Lampúe. Sturgis collection

    ..........American architect Russell Sturgis (1836 –1909) was a leading figure in the development of architectural criticism at the turn of the 20th-century. During his formative years in New York, Sturgis gained an appreciation for architectural history and modern design. An advocate of the American Pre-Raphaelites, Sturgis sought much inspiration in the written works of English architect and critic John Ruskin. Upon his return to New York after extensive travel abroad, Sturgis opened his own architectural practice in 1863. In addition to his success as an architect, Sturgis authored countless articles and books on various architectural subjects.
    After 1858, Sturgis earnestly began to collect choice photographs and drawings of various architectural gems. Sturgis' collection of photographs is particularly rich in both its collective thoroughness and diversity of images represented.................
