La courte brochure Promenades poétiques et daguerriennes—Bellevue de Louis-Auguste Martin, publiée en 1850, fut considérée en son temps comme le premier ouvrage en France mêlant texte et photographies. Martin était l’auteur du texte poétique, qui relate une sortie du dimanche aux environs de Paris, et l’auteur des sept photographies insérées dans le poème. Le choix du titre montre qu’il tenait à s’inscrire dans la tradition littéraire de la Promenade. Pourtant, Bellevue n’est pas qu’une promenade poétique, c’est aussi une promenade daguerrienne, qui témoigne que les images ne sont pas seulement des illustrations du texte mais participent pleinement au récit. Cet article avance que, tout en respectant à certains égards les conventions de la Promenade, le récit par l’inclusion des photographies exprime la tension inhérente à ce genre, à savoir celle qui a lieu entre l’immédiateté des impressions telles qu’elles sont ressenties lors de la marche ou du déplacement, et la recomposition de ces impressions par la suite.
