After the remarkable success of Atget Paris, a work 'Newsweek' called 'one of the great works of art of the last centuries', and the publication in 1994 of Marville Paris, comes the richly evocative Doisneau Paris, completing the Paris Trilogy. With this third and final volume the modern period in Paris is seen through the eyes of one of this century's most celebrated and respected photographers. This is not though just a book about Paris. It is more significantly the most important book yet to appear on the photography of Robert Doisneau.Doisneau is the photographer of Paris 'par excellence' and this book will have a lasting appeal for demonstrating the power of Doisneau's images like never before.

Doisneau’s work immortalized the magic of Paris for posterity; this stunning compact edition, edited by the artist’s daughters, includes over six hundred photographs. Doisneau is celebrated for his ability to infuse images of daily life with poetic nuances that have brought enduring popular appeal to his photojournalism. This collection pairs aesthetically-composed photographs alongside snapshots that offer a more personal account of Doisneau’s Paris. Organized thematically, this book—unprecedented in scope—gives an entrancing tour through the gardens of Paris, along the Seine, and amid the crowds of Parisians who live in and define their bewitching city. "An enchanting cross-section of Parisian life by one of the photographers who best captured its many charms." —The New York Times, 2005
