In these Hurn has revisited several of the scenes Atget photographed, and reproduced them exactly. The places haven't changed at all in 80+ years (pix are from the 1980s). Hurn even went there at the same season, and in the same light. An exceptional exhibition by an exceptional photographer. - --- Regards, Bob
