Marville shared Atget's dedication to photographically documenting French architectural and garden spaces with precise sepia toned albumen prints, capturing ornamental details and sculpted elements within formal Parisian environments with the same quiet documentary sensitivity.

Le Secq produced early French photographs focusing on sculptural and architectural details in monochrome, including decorative stonework and ornamental figures in outdoor settings, closely mirroring Atget's formal approach to mythological and decorative garden subjects.

Evans brought a contemplative, precise photographic eye to historic architectural and garden environments, using tonal gradations in monochrome silver prints to evoke the same mood of serene historical stillness found in Atget's garden documentation work.
