EDITORS COMMENTS
Marchand Abat-Jours" (Before 1927, Publication 1956) is a captivating photograph by the renowned French photographer, Eugène Atget. This image, taken in the 1920s but not published until the 1950s, showcases the urban landscape of France during an era of transition. The photograph features a hopeful and determined man, identified as a door-to-door salesman, standing on a cobbled street. He is dressed in a simple, workman-like outfit, carrying a lampshade on his back, which suggests that he may be selling these items door to door. The man's expression conveys a sense of determination and optimism, as he goes from house to house, offering his wares to the residents. The photograph is a testament to the enduring nature of the urban landscape, with its cobbled streets and old buildings, which have stood the test of time. The image is also a snapshot of a bygone era, where people relied on face-to-face interactions to conduct business. The photograph was taken using a gelatin silver print process, which lends the image a timeless and classic quality. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of architectural or urban photography, as it captures the essence of a specific time and place in history. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the stories that are woven into the fabric of our cities. Today, this photograph is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. Eugène Atget was a pioneering figure in the world of photography, known for his documentation of Parisian streets and architecture. His work has been celebrated for its artistic merit and historical significance, and continues to influence photographers and artists to this day. This photograph, "Marchand Abat-Jours," is a testament to Atget's ability to capture the essence of a moment in time, and to preserve it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
