La Bièvre, Porte d'Italie
1913
This matte albumen print by Eugène Atget documents the Porte d'Italie area along the Bièvre river in Paris, capturing the photographer's characteristic study of the city's urban landscape and architectural details. Marked with the number 404 in the negative and bearing Atget's studio stamp from his Rue Campagne-Première address, the work exemplifies his methodical archival approach to Parisian topography. The print's numbering system and careful annotation reflect Atget's systematic cataloging of his extensive photographic documentation of the French capital.
