Russell, John (Foreword by Rosamond Bernier) Paris
New York, New York, U.S.A. Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Publishers 1983 0-8109-1457-3 / 9780810914575 Expanded and Updated Edition, BMOC Hard Cover Good Near Fine 310 illustrations, including 85 plates in full color
Blue cloth on boards. Now in clear cover. Volume from 2nd page to page 24 has pages that were very, very lightly scrunched at the very tips from poor handling. I've smoothed them and they aren't readily noticeable unless you feel them. Now in clear cover. " John Russell's Paris is an elegant and erudite tour of the city - its character, its neighborhoods, its institutions - by a guide who knows its places and pleasures intimately. Beginning with the Louvre, and progressing slowly outward to the borders of the Ile de France, Russell ambles along the boulevards and streets of past and present Paris. He smoothly evokes three hundred years of social climbing, lavish living, romantic intrigue, artistic ambition, and intellectual achievement, and perhaps best of all, a charming discourse on the personality of Parisians and Parisiennes. The book is illustrated throughout with more than 310 paintings, pastels, drawings and photographs."
