notes: label: Description
content: Unmounted silver albumen photograph by Eugène Atget, "214 rue St. matin, Coin rue Montmorency, 1908." Cobblestone road with people and carts; buildings include signs for a "Boulangerie" (bakery), "Liquoriste" (liquor store), and also a store with the words "Bière Demory" prominently displayed; the name "M Coutarel" is above one of the entrances. The words "Confections" and "Lingerie" are mounted as individual letters on an iron balcony railing in the top right corner of the photograph. A blur of movement can be seen across the part of the street that is not in shadow. Hinge-mounted. 'Bière Demory' looks like it should be the name of the restaurant, but it may be a type of beer. Recto, "R. St. Matin coin Rue Montmorency 1908 - 3/4; " Verso, handwritten by Atget, "214 Rue St. Matin, Coin Rue Montmorency," "1908" beneath, "322" in top right corner. The balcony displaying the words 'confections lingerie' is probably an advertisement posted by a maker and seller of lingerie.
