EDITORS COMMENTS
This gelatin silver print, titled "Cour 7 rue de Valence 1922" transports us back to the streets of Paris in the early 20th century. The photograph, captured by renowned French photographer Eugène Atget, measures an impressive 172 x 227 cm and showcases his exceptional talent for documenting the essence of French culture and history. Atget's vocation in photography began in 1897 when he was forty years old. Prior to that, he had led a diverse life as a merchant seaman, itinerant actor, and painter. However, it was through his lens that he truly found his calling. Obsessed with capturing the soul of Paris and its environs, Atget compiled a visual compendium of architecture, landscapes, and artifacts. In this particular image from 1922, we are transported to Cour 7 rue de Valence - a charming courtyard tucked away amidst bustling city streets. Through Atget's meticulous eye for detail and composition, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps on cobblestones and imagine the stories hidden behind each door. The Liszt Collection has preserved this glass negative with utmost care to ensure its enduring beauty is enjoyed by generations to come. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Atget's unparalleled ability to distinguish himself as one of France's most celebrated photographers during his lifetime (1857-1927) and beyond.
