Paris de nuit

"Paris de nuit is a ravishing book object in a purely physical sense. The printing represents arguably the most luscious gravure ever seen, the blacks being so rich and deep that after handling the book one expects to find sooty deposits all over one's fingers. The graduation of tones is wnderfully subtle, describing an apparantly infinite range of black and near black tones... one should think of it as among the best produced and influential photobooks ever."-- Parr & Badger, ?The photobook: A history, vol I.
