Rue Eginhard (4e arr.)
1924
This matte albumen silver print by Eugène Atget documents a Parisian street scene in the 4th arrondissement, capturing the photographer's characteristic documentary approach to urban architecture and everyday life in early 20th century Paris. The print bears Atget's identifying marks, including his studio stamp from Rue Campagne-Première, along with manuscript notations of the catalog number 6464 and the address notation "17 bis," reflecting his systematic archival practice. Through the subtle tonal qualities of the albumen process, Atget preserves the street's architectural details and atmospheric character, contributing to his monumental photographic inventory of Paris before modernization.
