Coin du Quai Voltaire et rue de Nevers
1926
This printing-out-paper print captures a corner of Paris where the Quai Voltaire meets the rue de Nevers, documenting the urban landscape with Atget's characteristic documentary precision. The photograph bears his studio stamp from Rue Campagne-Première along with handwritten notations and the negative number 6649, reflecting the systematic cataloging that defined his archival practice. As part of Atget's extensive photographic survey of Paris begun in the early twentieth century, this image exemplifies his methodical documentation of the city's streets and architecture before modernization transformed them.
