Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 10x1x12; Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Light wear. Clean, unmarked pages. "Here are Brassai's iconic scenes of nocturnal Paris with its prostitutes and thugs, its night workers, cafes, dance halls, and theaters; here are the fog-shrouded streets, monuments, and bridges; and here is the literary and artistic elite of the Parisian avant-garde, whom Brassai counted among his friends. Alongside these images, and providing a deeper understanding of his working method, are many previously unpublished contact prints and variations of familiar shots taken from a different angle, differently framed, or as part of a sequence that constitutes a veritable short story on film. This is an oversized or heavy book, which requires additional postage for international delivery outside the US.
