Eugène Atget

Rue Frédéric Sauton

1924

Eugène Atget's "Rue Frédéric Sauton" is a matte albumen print documenting a Parisian street, numbered 6467 in the negative and bearing the photographer's Rue Campagne-Première studio stamp. The print exemplifies Atget's systematic cataloging of Paris's architecture and streetscapes in the early twentieth century, with pencil notations indicating its classification within his extensive archive. The photograph captures the quotidian character of the street with the documentary precision that made Atget's work foundational to modern photography's engagement with urban topography.
