Demay’s photographs bring the towns and monuments of eastern France, from Savoie to the Jura, into the plates of a national illustrated album. They appear in Album National France, Algérie, Colonies, published in Paris by L. Boulanger, with sheets catalogued to 1895. The credit Cliché de M. Demay identifies a photograph as the source, though some catalogue fields call the plates engravings. Bourg-en-Bresse provides its town hall, old houses and church of Notre-Dame, and the monastery at Brou its carved stalls, while Chambéry, Nantua and Saint-Claude extend the coverage across Savoie, Ain and Jura.
