Paris: The City and Photographers: The City and Its Photographers - Hardcover

From the wealth of photographic material on Paris, Deedes-Vincke has selected 100 images which he feels best illustrate not only the beauty and style of this most glamorous of cities, but the history of photography itself. This book has been organized chronologically to guide the reader through various photographic movements for which Paris provides the stage, from Daguerre's first image to the birth of photo-journalism. Many of the photographs have become classics of 20th-century culture whilst others, less well-known, help to build a picture of the powerful association between Paris and photography which has existed for over a century.
