EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Maison coin Boulevard de la Madeleine et rue de Caumartin, disparu ou modifié' (Disappeared or Altered House Corner of Boulevard de la Madeleine and rue de Caumartin), was captured by the renowned French photographer Eugène Atget in 1906. The image depicts a quintessential Parisian street corner located in the 9th arrondissement, a bustling area known for its shops and commercial activity. Atget's composition masterfully captures the architectural beauty of the townhouses and shops that once graced this corner. The photograph features a building with an intricately designed awning, its sun blinds drawn, casting an intriguing shadow on the pavement. The building on the corner, with its ornate facade and wrought-iron balcony, stands proudly, a testament to the rich architectural heritage of Paris. The photograph's title suggests that this scene may no longer exist in its original form, adding a sense of melancholy and nostalgia to the image. The absence of modern signs and commercial logos further emphasizes the vintage character of the photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era. This photograph, now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a prime example of Atget's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of Parisian urban life in the early 20th century. The image invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of the city, while also serving as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of urban landscapes.
