A great introduction to Bresson's early work.
The original version of the book was a catalog to an exhibition that ran Sep 10 - Nov 29, 1987 at the MOMA. French edition contains additions and modifications that were made with the agreement of Henri Cartier-Bresson and the MOMA.
A fine copy in a very good dj. Edges of dj slightly yellowed.
