FIRST EDITION AND A FINE COPY OF THIS BEAUTIFULLY PRODUCED COLLECTION, featuring Brassaï's unforgettable scenes of Paris. "There are portraits of famous artists and of unknown workmen and cocottes, a selection of his famous series on the streets of Paris by night, and his sensitive renderings of wall graffiti. In all of them appears the seemingly paradoxical combination of painstaking craftsmanship and romantic sensitivity that makes his work so appealing and so moving." - Publisher.
