...most remarkable pictures in this series is that of the little girl dancing to the organ grinder's tune. Atget has caught a mood that is beautiful and profound. The beatific smile of youth contrasts with sullen resolution of old age. In the portraits of the Ragpicker, Flowerman and Prostitute, Atget posed his subjects.
