Eugene Atget was a prominent photographer who predominantly photographed Paris, documenting the architecture and important locations before they were destroyed or altered. This photograph, originally taken by Atget, was printed by famed photographer Bernice Abbott. After Atget’s death Abbott purchased his extensive photographic archive and printed the first monograph on Atget.
