Eugène Atget (1856-1927)The DAC Collection has 70 works by this French photographer, including a portfolio of 20 photographs printed posthumously by Berenice Abbott, and a probably unique collection of 50 prints which he 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. This information was accurate as of 1997, but since then it has been integrated into the DAC's illustrated collections pages. The museum keeps this legacy page online for the convenience of those who may have bookmarked it or who find it via a link from another site or a search engine, but we recommend that most users consult our current collections pages.
