St. Julien le Pauvre

1922

Eugène Atget (French, 1857–1927)

This is an example of Atget's copy work. Sometimes he rephotographed a detail of one of his prints to produce a new record. His purpose with this example is not clear, but its copy status is evident from the top edge of the original print, visible against Atget's wooden copy stand at the top of the photograph.
