O książce Paris. Portrait of a City wer. angielska

A city built on two millennia of history, Paris is entering the third century of its love story with photography. It was on the banks of the Seine that Niépce and Daguerre officially gave birth to this new art that has flourished ever since, developing a distinctive language and becoming a vital tool of knowledge.

This book brings together the past and the present, the monumental and the everyday, objects and people. Images captured by the most illustrious photographe
