1933Best.-Nr. vC1123SIGNED by Paul Morand atop his 8-page preface. Paris: Edition Arts et Métiers Graphiques 1933. First Edition. Spiral bound quarto sixty-four gravure plates. The highest celebrated most iconic of the great Paris photobooks printed in a luscious gravure so tactile "that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one's fingers. One should think of it as amongst the best produced and influential photobooks ever" The Photobook Vol. I. Roth 101. Whereas most night photography of the period celebrates electric light speed and metropolitan life Brassai's portfolio expresses a different urban narrative. The Paris he shows his "little boxes of night" is tawdry intimate dark and full of mystery as though nighttime were its natural hue.

Appointed at the age of 24 attached to the French Embassy in London he began a career at the Quai which took him all over Europe.
