DESCRIPTION:

The Doisneau photos in this diary are so beautiful that many people actually re-use them as mini prints (a flavour of the diary can be found with the scans below). That is the kind of quality they are though as they are made by Taschen you would expect the highest quality. These Taschen diaries are also easy to use, spiral bound and well laid out.

The smattering of colour photographs act as a stark counterpoint to the more famous black & white ones. The scans below are low resolution deliberately as I think it's best to see the splendours of the photos for real within the covers of this treasure trove of a book. Treat the scans as a rough guide to the work of a genius.

Most of the photos are from Paris but some are Doisneau in the US. Also has a list of Public Holidays, 2013, in various countries, a Year Planner and a section for notes.

CONDITION:

New - Sealed. Sold Out.
