Paris by Jean Claude Gautrand
Paris is a city built on two millennia of history. This title leads us through what Goethe described as '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'. It recounts this history in photographs, from Daguerre's incunabula to the recent images.

"Passionnant patchwork croisant les temps et les angles d’approches, les esthétiques aussi, voilà un recueil d’images à consulter sans modération." * Le Monde des Beaux Livres *
