Eugène Atget's pair of matte albumen prints documents the Jardin du Luxembourg with the documentary precision characteristic of his early 20th century photographic practice. Each print bears inscriptions in pencil and Atget's studio stamp from his Rue Campagne-Première address, along with the notation '17 bis' on the verso, indicating their place within his extensive archive of Parisian subjects. The numbered negatives and titled prints reflect Atget's systematic approach to cataloging the city's architectural and landscape features for both artistic and commercial purposes.
