Description: "In October 1963, photographer André Kertész returned to Paris, almost thirty years after his emigration to the United States, for a retrospective of his work held at the Bibliot̀heque Nationale. Over a period of two and a half months, he devoted his days to photographing the ephemeral autumnal beauty of Paris--from Montmartre, Notre-Dame, and the Jardins du Luxembourg, to the Canal Saint-Martin and the banks of the Seine.  Through the lens of his Leica camera, he produced more than 1,500 negatives and 313 color slides, From this wealth of images, he selected fifty-nine of his best photographs and crafted them into a ferroprussiate process blueprint for a book. This exceptional body of work remained unpublished during his lifetime but is reproduced here in its complete form for the first time, as the photographer intended"--Jacket.
Notes: "The book mock-up for Paris, Autumn 1963 presented in these pages comes from the Donation André Kertész, today held in the Médisthèque de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine in Paris. The present volume is issued in the same format as the original dummy book and is composed of fifty-nine photographs printed on blue ferroprussiate paper"--Page 2.
