You wonder were any of the other people in the picture prompted to place themselves exactly where they are? It's expanding art with artifice. No one can tell us now as the little girl walking uphill past the bar with? her mother must be tipping 100 years old now - if she has survived. My mother would have been four at the time and is now in a nursing home. Anyway, without his new Leica, the influence of Atget on a very collaborative art scene in Paris, this photo would not have happened.
