The book presents some 500 images by Eugène Atget, documenting Paris through its main streets, side streets, courtyards, and arcades across the city's 20 arrondissements. Its breadth of coverage captures both the urban fabric and the evolution of Atget's photographic approach, tracing his work from street-level observation to a more refined documentary style. The collection draws on the recognition Atget received from photographers including Man Ray, Berenice Abbott, and Walker Evans, contextualising his place within photographic history.
