Books on Books No. 1. Atget: Photographe de Paris

Atget : Photographe de Paris is the perfect starting point for a series on great photography books. Published in 1930, three years after Atget´s death, it is now regarded as a classic that influenced generations of artists including Berenice Abbott and Walker Evans. Books on Books 1 reproduces all 96 collotype plates and an English translation of the Pierre Mac Orlan text on Eugène Atget´s remarkable documentation of Paris at the turn of the 19th century. The noted author, David Campany, contributes a contemporary essay called Atget´s Intelligent Documents written for this volume.
