The DAC has 70 works by Eugène Atget (French, 1856-1927). These include a portfolio of 20 photographs printed posthumously by Berenice Abbott, and a probably unique collection of 50 prints which Atget compiled in a hand-made album, Interiors of Churches (Intérieurs d'églises) (an exhibition catalog on the topic of this album is available). Surviving examples of Atget's albums are extremely rare, most having been disassembled and the prints sold separately.
