Title: Changing Paris
Description: "In Changing Paris, Philip Trager traverses "The City of Light" along the course of the Seine, documenting the remarkable structures and spaces of this magnificent city, which has so often used the river as a point of reference in its architectural planning. Trager's luminous photographs reference the nineteenth-century works of forebears Edouard Baldus, Henri Le Secq, Gustave Le Gray, and Eugene Atget, whose architectural photographs reflect both the transformations and the timelessness of Paris. The juxtaposition of ancient and modern, austere and ornate, and ethereal and urbane all resonate in Trager's eloquent photographs of this evolving urban landscape, which has recently undergone the greatest changes since Baron Haussmann's redesign of the city in the Second Empire."--BOOK JACKET.
