This wonderful shot has my full support. ^_^

Such a typical Atget photo. Can see why the surrealists love works like these by Atget.

Amazing picture~!

Thank you for posting and keeping safe these great photographs!!! I love the photographers of old.

Cette photo a beaucoup inspiré les surréalistes : ils y voyaient les prémices des mannequins mystérieux de Giorgio de Chirico. Pour plus d'infos, cf. : Guillaume Le Gall, « Atget, figure réfléchie du surréalisme », Études photographiques, 7 | Mai 2000, [lire en ligne]

I am about to have an exhibition of paintings and photographs at the Musee de l'Eventail at 2 bvd Strasbourg, opening on 14 May until August 1, so I find it especially apt to see that Atget produced some of his most familiar pictures in this boulevard. Today someone asked me why I was having an exhibition in Paris. What a strange enquiry! Furthermore, my stepfather, Eric Thake with whom I spent a good deal of my childhood and adolescence was one of the most distinguished surrealist painters and woodcut artists in Australia in the second half of the twentieth century.

#63 ... something. Is there any accompanying information here, or elsewhere, as to #63 which street?

63 rue de Sèvres (7e arr.)

this would be No. 63 rue de Sèvres today on google maps: google maps 63 rue de sevres paris

Hi, please add this photo to the Flickr Commons group. We'd love to have this (and many more of your other photos) in the pool!
