EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant energy of a Street Fair, known as Fete du Trone, in Paris. Taken by renowned French photographer Eugene Atget in 1925 and later printed by American photographer Berenice Abbott around 1950, this gelatin silver print transports us to a lively scene filled with joy and excitement. The image showcases the mastery of Atget's lens as he skillfully frames the bustling street fair. The composition draws our attention to the diverse crowd that has gathered for this festive occasion. Men, women, and children can be seen strolling along the streets adorned with colorful decorations. The atmosphere is alive with laughter, music, and chatter. Abbott's printing technique further enhances the visual impact of this historical moment frozen in time. The gelatin silver process brings out rich tonalities and exquisite details that make every element come to life within the frame. Measuring at 15.9 x 22.7 cm (6 1/4 x 8 15/16 inches), this small yet powerful print invites us to immerse ourselves in its charm and nostalgia. It serves as a testament to both Atget's dedication to documenting everyday life in Paris during his era and Abbott's commitment to preserving his legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography can transport us across time and space, allowing us glimpses into moments long gone but forever etched in history.
