paris… portrait of a city…

There is a new book on the block from Taschen for all of us who love Paris… Portrait of a City.
This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Images captured by the most illustrious photographers – Daguerre, Marville, Atget, Lartigue, Brassaï, Kertész, Ronis, Doisneau, Cartier-Bresson and many more – but also by many unknown photographers, attempt to bottle just a little of that “Parisian air”, something of that particular poetry given out by the stones and inhabitants of a constantly changing city that has inspired untold numbers of writers and artists over the ages.
I am a big fan of any publication by Taschen so I have ordered my copy here… US and Canadian readers can pre-order here…
If you can’t wait for Portrait of a City and are in need of a Paris fix… This is one of my other very favourites… Taschen’s Paris… I never take a trip to Paris without a quick flick through their recommendations…
Armchair travel… Sometimes I think it’s the best way to fly…. xv
