EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Chiffonier Ragpicker Eugene Atget French 1857" transports us back in time to late 19th-century France. The image, captured between 1899 and 1901 by renowned photographer Eugène Atget, showcases a chiffonier or ragpicker going about his daily work on the streets of Paris. In this black and white albumen silver print, Atget's keen eye for detail is evident as he beautifully captures the essence of urban life during this era. The chiffonier is depicted amidst a backdrop of dilapidated buildings and cobblestone streets, highlighting the harsh realities faced by those who made their living collecting discarded rags and other items. Atget's composition draws us into the scene, allowing us to empathize with the ragpicker's plight while also appreciating his resilience. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the often-overlooked individuals who played crucial roles in keeping cities clean and functioning. The use of albumen silver print further enhances the vintage charm of this piece. Its sepia tones lend an air of nostalgia that invites viewers to reflect on how much has changed since Atget captured this moment over a century ago. Overall, "Chiffonier Ragpicker Eugene Atget French 1857" serves as both a historical document and a testament to Atget's mastery behind the lens. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary scenes can hold profound stories waiting to be discovered within them
