French-born Victor Prevost (1820–1881) is one of the earliest photographers to work in New York City.Prevost studied in France under Paul Delaroche and learned complicated photographic printing techniques from fellow student Gustave Le Gray. However after setting up his own studio on Broadway and Bleecker Street (he emigrated in 1850) Prevost failed to become a commercial success. His landscapes are a subtle and rather idiosyncratic mix of the documentary and aesthetic traditions.
