First French edition of Love on the Left Bank, published in 1956
The first French edition of the cult volume Love on the Left Bank. Snapshots of a romantic darkness on student hedonism, in a setting of bars, cafés, clubs and the other high places of the quarter.
First published in 1956, it is now recognised across the world as one of the most important photographic volumes of the twentieth century. Its unconventional treatment, somewhere between the photo-novel and the private journal, genuinely pushed back the limits of documentary work.
