Eugene Atget (1857-1927) was a French photographer best known for documenting architecture and street scenes in Paris between 1897-1927. He took over 10,000 photos of the city using a large format camera, capturing old streets and buildings before they were demolished. While not initially well-known, his photos attracted famous artists in the 1920s and helped preserve the historic visual culture of Paris.
