This albumen print by Eugène Atget documents a beekeeping supply shop on the Quai de la Mégisserie in Paris, capturing the storefront with characteristic documentary precision typical of the photographer's extensive survey of Parisian commerce and street life in the early twentieth century. Atget's meticulous approach to urban photography transformed ordinary commercial scenes into significant historical records, preserving details of Parisian material culture before modernization. The work exemplifies Atget's methodology of systematically cataloging Parisian subjects, as evidenced by the pencil notation of its inventory number on the reverse, reflecting his archival approach to photography.
