1963 / First Edition
Publisher: Macmillan Co.
Atget spent decades wandering Paris with his camera, creating an unparalleled visual record of its urban fabric during a period of modernization and change. His work is characterised by carefully composed views that often exclude people. Instead, Atget focuses on capturing the textures of built environments, streetscapes, and architecture that evoke both the physical reality and the deeper cultural memory of a city in flux. Images are juxtaposed by Proust’s meditative prose on memory, time, and imagination, inviting readers to see Paris not just as a place but as a repository of experience and remembrance.
Condition: Book is in good condition. Minor wear to corners and spine. Minor fading. Title is gilt. Interior is pristine.
