About This Item
Paris: Arts et Metiers Graphiques, 1933. 12 pp of text and captions, 62 pp. of full-page black and white photographs. Spiral bound, stiff wraps. Text is in French. Covers and endpapers are additional photographs. Spiral binding is complete and secure, unusual for such a fragile publication. Extremities are worn, covers are scuffed and creased. Front cover has 3/4" square of photo missing (paper only is missing, the underlying board of the cover is complete). Interior is very clean throughout and photographs are sharp and clear. Brassai was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century and this, his first book, was a landmark work. In it he captures both the luminosity and the eeriness of all corners of the city and lifestyles of Paris at night in the early 1930s. Scarce.. First Edition. Softcover. Good/No Jacket. Illus. by Brassai. Small Quarto.
