In-8 (25 x 18 cm). First edition. The “Series of One Hundred.” 31 pp. of trilingual text (German, French, and English) and 100 heliogravures. Paperback, with illustrated dust jacket.

Fascinated by Paris like many of her contemporary photographers, Germaine Krull offers in *100 x Paris* a unique vision of the capital in the 1930s. Her gaze focuses on both the daily life of the city and its inhabitants. Her distinctive eye offers a modern take on familiar places: the Eiffel Tower at night, the interiors of department stores, the city’s intersections where drivers and pedestrians mingle, the booksellers on the banks of the Seine, Les Halles… These 100 photographs, taken with a small-format camera, offer a fresh perspective on Paris—one of modernity to which Germaine Krull lends a mysterious originality.
