Eugène Atget — Coin de ferme, Saulx-les-Chartreux
Eugène Atget

Coin de ferme, Saulx-les-Chartreux

1924

Eugène Atget's "Coin de ferme, Saulx-les-Chartreux" is a matte albumen print documenting a rural farmyard corner with the methodical precision characteristic of the photographer's systematic survey of the French countryside. The print bears Atget's archival markings, including his negative number 7058 and Rue Campagne-Première studio stamp, reflecting his organized practice of cataloging scenes from around Paris and its outlying regions. Through careful composition and tonal subtlety, Atget captures the textures and modest architectural details of provincial farm life in the early twentieth century.

Medium
matte albumen print, numbered '7058' in the negative, titled 'Sceaux les Chartreux, Ferme' and numbered in pencil and with the photographer's Rue Campagne-Première studio stamp, annotated '17 bis' in pencil, on the reverse
