Default Charles Marville, photographer of Paris

About a month ago, the Times literary supplement reviewed a new book about Marville, an exhibition of whose work is currently on in New York, moving to Ottawa in June. In some ways you could see Marville as a sort of precursor of Atget, photographing Paris before and during Haussmann's reconstruction in the city.

The review was good; so I bought the book. I can certainly recommend it here.

Charles Marville, photographer of Paris, [by] Sarah Kennel with [others]. Washington: National Gallery of Art; Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2013
265p.


The book is very well illustrated (169 of them) and costs $60 hardback. As I don't deal with Amazon for now, I bought it from Waterstone's for £42. I think that's very good value.

ISBNs: hbk 978-0-226-09278-2 or pbk 978-0-89468-385-5

Thanks for the recommendation Michael. I saw an exhibition of Atget prints at Musée Carnavalet in Paris in 2012. The museum also houses most of Marville's prints and negatives and some of his work was featured alongside Atget's. As much as I like Atget I think Marville's work is a bit more polished.
