Description:
New York: Viking Press, 1972. First Edition, seventh printing. With spot drawings from THE NEW YORKER. 8vo, full black cloth with gilt on spine. In the original dustjacket. xxiv, 232. A fine copy. A FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF PARIS IN THE 20s & 30s. Writing under the pen name Genet, Janet Flanner wrote the “Letter from Paris” column in the New Yorker magazine. Collected here are her best columns from 1925-1939. Thus there are contemporaneous accounts of exciting things like Lindbergh's arrival in Paris on 21 May 1927, and the riot on Feb 6, 1934, connected to the Stavisky scandal. Flanner has incisive comments on prominent people who died in Paris such as Clemenceau in 1929 and Marshall Foch that same year, and of Edith Wharton in 1937. Flanner is very readable, pertinent and often funny. It was a fantastic stretch of years, made more poignant by what we know came immediately after it.

FIRST EDITION. Describing Strand’s oeuvre, Stieglitz said: “In the history of photography there are but few photographers who, from the point of view of expression, have really done much work of any importance. And by importance we mean work that has some relatively lasting quality, that element which gives all art its real significance. . . . The work is brutally direct. Devoid of any flim-flams; devoid of trickery and any ‘ism,’ devoid of any attempt to mystify an ignorant public.”
