EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Timeless Glimpse into Parisian Butcher Shops of the Past This evocative photograph, titled "Boucherie, Rue Christine (image 2 of 2), 1923-24, (1956)" by renowned French photographer Eugène Atget, invites us to take a captivating journey back in time to the streets of Paris during the 1920s. The image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases a butcher shop located on Rue Christine, with its shopfront proudly displaying an array of fresh meats. Atget, a pioneering figure in early 20th-century photography, captured the essence of Parisian urban life through his extensive documentation of the city's architecture, shops, and street scenes. In this particular image, the butcher shop's shopfront stands out as a testament to the rich heritage of Parisian food culture. The photograph, taken in the 1920s but printed in the 1950s, showcases the butcher's skillful arrangement of meat, with the hanging cuts bathed in soft, natural light that highlights their texture and color. The photograph's gelatin silver print, featuring a white and black tonality, adds to the timeless and classic feel of the image. The butcher shop's weathered facade, with its intricate details and faded signage, speaks to the passage of time and the enduring nature of Parisian street life. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of a bygone era but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage. The image, now part of the LACMA collection, invites us to appreciate the beauty and history of Parisian butcher shops and the role they played in the city's urban fabric. Whether viewed through the lens of history, food culture, or urban exploration, "Boucherie, Rue Christine (image 2 of 2), 1923-24, (1956)" by Eugène Atget continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless charm.
