Interieur de Mme. C. Modiste 1910

Eugène Atget’s *Interieur de Mme. C. Modiste* (1910) is a photo of a Parisian milliner’s shop. Atget is known for his documentation of everyday Parisian life, particularly the architecture and street scenes, which he captured in his signature, stark, black and white photographs. The interior of the shop, with its ornate furniture and simple furnishings, speaks to a quiet elegance, giving a glimpse into the everyday life of a Parisian businesswoman at the turn of the century.
