Paris. Portrait of a City

Built on two millennia of history, Paris is as much a city to fall in love with as a city to photograph. This visual companion to the French metropolis brings together the chic spirit of the city of light through hundreds of meticulously researched images, from some of the very earliest pictures ever taken of Paris - by Louis Daguerre and Henry Fox Talbot - to iconic images of its fashion, art, and architecture. The history of Paris is recounted in photographs ranging from Daguerre's early incunabula to the most recent images, a vast panorama spanning more than 600 pages and 500 photographs by the most illustrious photographers - Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassai, Kertesz, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson - and many unknown ones. Hardcover, 25 x 34 cm, 544 pages.
