Paris. Portrait of a City
Jean Claude Gautrand
Built on two millennia of history, Paris is as much a city to fall in love with as a city to photograph. This visual companion to the French metropolis brings together the chic spirit of the city through hundreds of meticulously researched images, from some of the very earliest pictures ever taken of Paris—by Louis Daguerre and Henry Fox Talbot—to iconic images of its fashion, art, and architecture.
Jean Claude Gautrand (1932–2019) was one of France’s most distinguished experts on photography. An active photographer since 1960, he also made a name for himself as a historian, journalist, and critic, with numerous publications including his TASCHEN books on Brassaï (2004), Paris. Portrait of a City (2011), Robert Doisneau (2014), and Eugène Atget. Paris (2016).
