Photo Graphie 1931. Arts et Metiers Graphiques, Paris. First edition. Original edition. Softcover. Spiral. Good Plus. Text in French.
The 1931 edition of this impressive, short lived French annual issued out of Paris and lasting only 11 years in this original incarnation. 124 lavish full page gravures by the likes of Doris Ulmann, Man Ray, Edward Steichen, Paul Outerbridge, Munkacsi, Lee Miller, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Andre Kertesz, Germaine Krull, Hoyningen-Huene, Herbert Bayer, Cecil Beaton, Franz Roh plus others. Also includes over two dozen wonderfully decorative period ads at the rear.
Good Plus. This issue has held up very well to boot. Clean and in its spiral-bound, off-white printed wrappers. The front and back cover have some soiling and staining. Tiny tear to the bottom edge. Tanning. Internally, beautiful photographs printed in gorgeous gravure. Overall well-preserved and very presentable, with a number of hauntingly beautiful photos.
