EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Versailles, Porte, rue de L'Orangerie, c.1910," is a stunning architectural masterpiece captured by the renowned French photographer, Eugène Atget. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, as we gaze upon the intricately detailed facade of a building located on the rue de L'Orangerie in the iconic French city of Versailles. The cobblestone street, lined with symmetrical buildings, adds to the sense of timelessness and elegance. The large, ornate doorway with its wrought iron detailing invites us to imagine the stories that have unfolded within its walls. The photograph's high contrast, achieved through the use of an albumen print process, enhances the textures and details of the building's facade, making every brick and every crevice stand out. Eugène Atget was a pioneering figure in the world of photography, known for his extensive documentation of Parisian architecture and urban landscapes. His work, which includes over 8,000 images, has become an invaluable resource for historians, architects, and artists. This particular photograph, taken in the 1910s, showcases Atget's ability to capture the beauty and character of a place, frozen in time for future generations to appreciate. The photograph is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance. As we admire the image, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural history that lies within the streets of Versailles, France, and the important role that photography plays in preserving and sharing these stories.
