An interesting collection of photographs, by the famed Eugène Atget, of Paris' empty buildings, courts, shop windows, carts, stairs, cobblestones, etc.... from c. 1900-1915. The same 20 page essay by Andreas Krase is printed three times -- in French, English, and then again in German.

Beautiful pictures that will haunt you. There is a "Mystery and Melancholy of a Street" vibe that takes you to a time and place you never could have experienced - because it was gone before you were born.

Good pictural difference shown by the author and the photographer.
