Coming from Barcelona, where Franck (real name – F.M.L.A. Gobinet de Villecholle) made daguerreotypes, he had a long career in photography in Paris. He is known for a large series of views of ruined buildings made after the Paris Commune in 1871. The front of the mount bears his name and 18 rue de Vivienne Parisian address (he was there from 1862).
