"The World of Atget by Berenice Abbott (Condition: B)" is a photobook by French photographer Eugène Atget, who is considered the father of modern photography. Atget had aimed to be an actor from his 20s to around 40s, but was eventually fired from the theater company. He gave up on his dream of becoming a painter, and then began taking photographs to document the works of other painters to make a living, but 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 photobook 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, and for the rich artistic quality that resides in his unique aesthetic sense. (Large tear in the cover)
