A new paperback edition of Christopher Rauschenberg’s Paris Changing: Revisiting Eugène Atget’s Paris shows how many of the sites Atget captured looked nearly a century later, most virtually untouched by major change. A larger question raised by images of city architecture across long periods of time is how the occupants of urban centers themselves have changed, as demonstrated by “Unseen London, Paris, New York, 1930s-60s: Photographs by Wolfgang Suschitzky, Dorothy Bohm and Neil Libbert,” at London’s Ben Uri Gallery.
