About This Item
London: Thames and Hudson Ltd., 1977. Book. Good. Hardcover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 1977 reprint of the 1976 first UK edition. Black hardcover with titles in silver on spine. Condition: Good, with light shelfwear to covers. Binding sound, no inscriptions. Light sunning to edges of text. Dustjacket condition: Good, with light shelfwear. Not price-clipped. Unpaginated. 150 b/w photographic illustrations. The Secret Paris of the 30's is one of the most remarkable photographic memoirs ever published. His photographs reveal a milieu previously known only through books such as the novels of Henry Miller (a frequent companion on Brassai's nocturnal rambles). His images depict the hidden Paris of the 1930's, its brothels, its whores, its pimps, its opium dens - the sordid yet fascinating bas-monde where high society mingled with the underworld..
