Eugène Atget’s photographs of Paris at the turn of the 20th century form a remarkable visual archive of the city’s streets, architecture, and vanishing pre-modern spaces. While best known for his carefully composed urban vistas, he occasionally photographed street vendors, shopkeepers, and laborers. Whether capturing deserted boulevards or glimpses of daily life, his work transcends documentation, evoking a poetic sense of time and memory that profoundly influenced generations of photographers after him. – Small tear on upper margin, edges slightly uneven, otherwise in good condition.
