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.

just wonderful! would love to see a modern day shot of the same view. Much has changed for sure!

I reckon it was a laundry van with those baskets? I agree with Tammybeck it would be great to try and recreate it. I'm out on the northside and can't get past immigration.

I’m thinking the van would transport anything you needed to have moved, maybe even people.

Swordscookie Well, we could try to get authorisation for you to come Southside! And laundry is a great idea.

Tammy Not changed as much as you'd think! Here's recent Street View...

Nice shot. these lads could easily be identified I would say! May I ask where this bar is?

Brian Mulligan Ah you commented before I'd finished the description! No idea where it was. Hoping to find out here...

Ha, apologies Carol!

Brian Mulligan Not at all! Just give a girl a moment to catch her breath... :)

Well, it doesn't get any more Irish than that! LOVE!
