Eugène Atget took this photograph around 1900. It shows a statue in Versailles, France. He worked in Paris and sold prints to museums and artists. He spent years documenting “Old Paris” before modern changes erased its older streets. Museums bought many of his photos, including the Victoria and Albert Museum. Look up his work next via the artist Atget, Jean-Eugène-Auguste.
