Other impressions of this image are included in the permanent collections of MOMA, New York (Later albumen print Object SC1984.59) and the Metropolitan Museum, New York, (Object 56.610.10 from thesame exact 1956 portfolio).
Photographed in May 1921 in Versailles, this image captures a prostitute (femme) and a soldier (soldat) standing outside a brothel (maison close). It is one of Eugène Atget's notable documentary portraits recording the social landscape and marginalized figures of early 20th-century France.
Atget took the photo in 1921, but after his death in 1927, his original glass plate negatives were preserved and acquired by American photographer Berenice Abbott. In 1956, Abbott produced a rare commemorative portfolio (20 Photographs by Eugene Atget) printed directly from Atget's original glass plates.
This specific photograph is Plate 10 from the 1956 Berenice Abbott portfolio of 20 photographs in an edition of 100.
