Reprint. Originally published in 1956. Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken's landmark photobook published originally in 1956, has become an enduring classic. His gritty, sexy, black-and-white photos of bohemian life in Paris captured a reckless, carefree, decadent and hedonistic love for life. A fictional text and captions accompanied the photos in the book. "Van der Elsken's blend of informal photojournalism and diaristic note-taking set a precendent for the sort of engaged personal book works that Larry Clark and Nan Goldin would make decades later...."--Vince Aletti.
