"All I can say: get collecting. These books are an incredible value." - Image, London, on the photography book series
Eugène Atget roamed the streets with his bulky large format camera, systematically cataloguing turn-of-the-century Old Paris down to the very smallest details. His skilled, wonderfully atmospheric photos of Paris's parks, buildings, streets, store windows, prostitutes, workers, and even door handles are a joy to behold.

"Parigi così romantica come non l'avete mai vista...Eugène era un vero poeta dell'immagine che, camminando per la sua città immancabilmente accompagnato dalla sua macchina fotografica, fissava scordi, panorami, dettagli. Catturando speciali atmosfere di inizio Novecento, rigorosamente in bianco e nero."
