FROM THE CLEVELAND MUSEUM OF ART’S CATALOG

The Gorges du Tarn is a canyon formed by the Tarn River in southern France. At the foot of some of its cliffs, below a ruined medieval castle, lies the ancient village of Castelbouc. It contains semitroglodyte dwellings, buildings that were built into the hillsides. Amédée Trantoul learned photography from his father, who had a studio in Toulouse which his son ran after his death.
