The World of Atget by Berenice Abbott is a collection of photographs by Eugene Atget, a French photographer who is considered the father of modern photography. Atget aspired to be an actor from his 20s to his 40s, but was eventually fired from his theater company. He gave up on his dream of becoming a painter, and then began taking photographs to document the work of other painters to make a living. However, he passed away without making a name for himself during his lifetime. This book is "The World of Atget" edited by Berenice Abbott, a famous female photographer. This is a historical collection of photographs that made Atget's name known to the world. Abbott was amazed when she first saw Atget's photographs two years before Atget's death, when she was an assistant to Man Ray, and later purchased Atget's print plates at her own expense, and has since devoted herself to introducing his work. Atget's photographs are highly regarded for their faithful record of historical facts in Paris, as well as the rich artistic quality that resides in his unique aesthetic sense.
