First published in 1963 and here reissued, these wonderful evocative photographs are from the collection of Berenice Abbott who wrote of Atget: "He will be remembered as an urban historian, a genuine romanticist, a lover of Paris, a Balzac of the camera, from whose work we can weave a large tapestry of French civilization. Yet perhaps his most haunting photographs show simply a plow in a field near the city, a crop of wheat, or one of the trees he loved so well."
