Cour, rue Voltaire, Sceaux
1922
This albumen print by Eugène Atget documents a courtyard on rue Voltaire in the Parisian suburb of Sceaux, capturing the photographer's characteristic documentary approach to urban and architectural spaces in early 20th century France. The image bears Atget's archival numbering system, with negative number 6988 and handwritten inscription on the verso, reflecting his systematic cataloging of Parisian streets and buildings. Atget's work from this period established a visual record of vanishing architectural details and everyday urban environments that would later influence modernist photographers and artists.
