Bookseller's description: one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century photographic literature. Pairis de Nuit perfectly captures the feeling of Paris during the era of the Depression with darkened gardens, deserted swuares, ladies of the evening and smoke-filled bars and cafés. This extraordinarily evocative book is now very difficult to find in collectible condition.
