Paris: Portrait of a City
Paris: Portrait of a City leads us through what Goethe described as a “universal city where every step upon a bridge or a square recalls a great past, where a fragment of history is unrolled at the corner of every street.” The history of Paris is recounted in photographs ranging from Daguerre’s early incunabula to the most recent images-an almost complete record of over a century and a half of transformations and a vast panorama spanning more than 600 pages and 500 photographs.
