EDITORS COMMENTS
Vauvert Vieille Rue, France, c1901: A Glimpse into the Past This black and white albumen print, captured by the renowned French photographer Eugène Atget in 1901, offers a captivating glimpse into the past of Vauvert, a small town located in the Centre Region of France. The image depicts a narrow, cobbled street, lined with aged houses and walls, each adorned with intricately designed shutters. The houses, with their white facades and gradual color shift from white to black as they ascend the uphill thoroughfare, exude a sense of history and character. The photograph, taken over a century ago, invites us to explore the architectural heritage of France during the early 20th century. The houses, with their unique designs and intricate details, stand as a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the time. The wall on the left, with its faded colors and worn-out texture, adds to the overall sense of age and authenticity. The image, now a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations. The cobbled street, with its worn-out stones and the houses with their shuttered windows, tell a story of a time long gone, yet one that continues to inspire and captivate us. Eugène Atget, a pioneer in documentary photography, captured this image as part of his extensive collection of photographs of Paris and the French countryside. His work, which includes over 8,000 negatives, is considered a significant contribution to the history of photography and continues to inspire photographers and artists to this day.
