Atget Photographe de Paris

By Jlee, 30 July, 2007
Description

The title of the book is Atget Photographe de Paris published by E. Weyhe, New York City and printed in France and I believe it is a first edition. The text is in french and it contains a collection of Eugene Atget photography (Also contains several pictures by Berenice Abbott). He was a famous photographer born in 1856 and well known for his photography of Paris. When he died in 1927 Berenice Abbott purchased his remaining pictures and began to promote his work. This was the first of the books that she put together. The copy of the book I have also contains a dated signature by Berenice Abbott.

(From the internet, but looks just like the copy I have)
