Paris de Nuit: 60 Photos Inedites de Brassai (Signed by Brassai) SIGNED
Paris: Edition "Arts et Metiers Graphiques" 1933. Spiral bound. SIGNED BY BRASSAI near the head of the opening page of Paul Morand's Introduction. A solid, very presentable copy to boot of the 1933 1st edition of this soaring achievement in pre-War photography and printing. Crisp and VG in its iconic card wrappers of a late-evening, cobblestoned Paris walkway, with light creasing and chipping along the edges. A touch of separation as well to the front panel along only the top 1" of the spiral binding. Internally, very sharp, with just a bit of light soiling to several pages of the Introduction. The remarkable gravures, all 62 of them, are all-but-pristine, deep and rich and magnficent. While Brassai's signature is not especially scarce, it is truly uncommon on copies of this, his masterwork and greatest achievement. Very Good. Item #20879
