A collection of Paul Almasy's photographs of Paris, offering a multi-faceted portrait of the city over five decades. Unlike many other Paris photographers, the Hungarian-born photojournalist was able to combine the art of scenic milieu photography and portraiture with that of compelling political reportage. This volume includes not only scenes of everyday street, cafe and market life from the time of the German occupation to the late sixties, but also images of victory celebrations and mass demonstrations, scenes from within the halls of power, and intimate portraits of famous artists at work.
