Atmospheric chronicle of early 1900s Paris.
If you've ever longed to walk through the streets of historic Paris, Atget's collection is a quiet time-capsule that's worth your time. His photographs are more than just images; they carry the soul of turn-of-the-century Paris, capturing the essence of the city's architecture and its people with a haunting beauty that's both intimate and grand. It's not just a book of photos—it's an artful journey to a Paris that no longer exists.

Description
Eugene Atget roamed the streets with his bulky large format camera, systematically cataloguing turn-of-the-century Old Paris down to the very smallest details. His skilled, wonderfully atmospheric photos of Paris's parks, buildings, streets, store windows, prostitutes, workers, and even door handles are a joy to behold. This abbreviated volume contains a selection of Atget's best photographs and is the perfect introduction to this master photographer's work.
