EUGÈNE ATGET (1857-1927)
Rue Mouffetard, Paris (Marchand de glaces). 1899.
Albumen print, the image measuring 8½x6⅞ inches (21.6x17.5 cm.), the mount 14½x11¼ inches (36.8x28.6 cm.), with the "Photo E. Atget, Collection Berenice Abbott" copyright stamp, and the title, notation "1930 Weyhe," and negative notation "3180" in pencil, in an unknown hand, on mount verso.

Provenance
The Collection of Berenice Abbott, New York; Fraenkel Gallery, San Francisco; to the Present Owner

The annotation on the verso of this print ("1930 Weyhe") almost certainly refers to the 1930 exhibition of Atget's work at Weyhe Gallery in New York City organized by Abbott and gallerist Julien Levy.
