About This Item
New York: Pantheon , 1976. First American Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. A visual and textual portrait of the debauched underbelly of Paris in the 1930's, with photographs and accompanying stories and anecdotes by Brassai. Organized into chapters, from "The Urinals of Paris" to "Ladies of the Evening." Inscribed in French by Brassai in the year of publication to Grace Meyer, former head of MOMA. A very nice association. With an invitation addressed to Meyer to the show for the book held at Marlborough Gallery in NYC. Nice copy of the book. Tear to top of DJ spine.
"This is a stunning view of the forbidden Paris of the thirties, its brothels, its whores, its pimps, its opium dens the sordid yet fascinating world where high society mingled with the underworld..."
