1976rif. 26004New York:: Pantheon 1976. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket with just a touch of edge wear. The Secret Paris of the '30s is one of the most evocative photographic memoirs ever published. For years it was known that Brassai had taken a series of 'secret photographs' which could not be published because of their daring nature. Alone or in the company of friends he discovered the forbidden Paris of the 1930s - its brothels whores pimps and opium dens - the sordid yet bewitching bas-monde where high society mingled with the underworld. Brassai's photographs reveal a milieu previously known only through books such as the novels of Henry Miller a frequent companion on his nocturnal rambles: the seamy grimy yet infinitely exciting reality that tourists still think of when they seek 'Paris by night'. These fascinating images are accompanied by Brassai's own text in which he describes the extraordinary conditions under which he took his photographs. Pantheon, unknown

1987rif. 24386New York::: Pantheon 1987. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Very Good unclipped dust jacket with peeling to the jacket laminate. Arriving in Paris in 1924 Brassaï rapidly became a shrewd observer of nocturnal Parisian life. He sensed that photography was the tool that would allow him to document his vision of a dying society. Fascinated by the night which he found disconcerting enigmatic and suggestive Brassaï photographed its every aspect from police to prostitutes to the homeless to socialites all in a dreamlike and mysterious manner. In sixty-four images Brassaï succeeded in remarkably capturing this unique ambience. This book meticulously assembled by Brassaï himself signifies the birth of the artist. Brassaï originally from Hungary traveled to Paris in 1924 where he began to associate with the avant-garde artist community in particular with Picasso and the Parisian surrealist circles. He quickly established himself as one of the most original photographers of his generation. Pantheon,, unknown
