193455114Paris-Publications 1934. Softcover. Previous owner’s signature inside front cover. As is nearly always the case with this book the plastic or Bakelite rings that once held the book together are lacking having apparently broken they must have been quite fragile and so the covers and the pages are entirely disbound.<br /> However this copy differs from most others in being more complete: it has 2 pages of text and 46 pages of images. Most copies have either 38 or 44 pages of images. This is said to be the result of censorship; since the pages are unnumbered and there is no list of the images the removal of one or more leaves would not be noticeable. Or it may be the result of there not having been an equal number of good copies of each leaf when the book was assembled.<br /> In any case this is except for the binding rings the most complete and probably earliest state of this scarce volume.<br /> Some remnants of celotape on the covers probably from an attempt to compensate for the missing binding rings. Credit to Brassia inside back cover and price 40 francs on back cover. . 48p. Paris-Publications, [ paperback
002510Paris: Paris-Publications This is a near fine copy of the rarest of Brassai's books which has been bound into a hardcover binding from the period in handsome red and black marbled paper-covered boards and a linen cloth spine with red leather label gilt title. The original binding of this book was a spiral plastic ring type. The spiral binding was taken off and the book with its original red-orange covers with the title printed in large white letters was bound in whole. Covers are bright and clean in very good condition small closed tear to bottom corner of back cover inside completely clean. There is no date on the colophon page inside back cover and there apparently were two editions. The first edition was published in 1930 but Brassai was reportedly unhappy with the selection of images and because he was not credited. In our copy he is credited as the photographer and so we assume this is the second edition from ca.1934. It is unpaginated. There are 40 pages with 38 black and white photographs of ladies of the night strippers models night clubs and balls like the Bal Tabarin shots of tough streetwalkers in Les Halles many shots of men and women in costume sometimes drag also a lesbian couple in a club "strictement Feminine" shots of lovers in parks on streets playful shots of men looking into a lingerie shop window with elaborately garbed mannequins at night 1 shot of Kiki in a Montparnasse night club an amazing shot in " La Cage a Femmes d'un Grand Music-Hall Parisien" which shows a cage or pit viewed from above with women on stools like lions in various states of undress and performing "acrobatic" feats. Finally tipped in at the very end on the collophon page a half-page size shot in color of a nude woman in profile we assume not by Brassai. Large 4to 11" high X 8" wide. The original book was not cut down when re-bound it is in its' intended size and because of the re-binding it has been kept in near fine condition. A beautiful copy of a true rarity. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking. Hard Cover. Near Fine. Paris-Publications Hardcover

FIRST EDITION THE PRESUMED FIRST ISSUE COMPLETE WITH THE EIGHT SUPPRESSED PLATES AND ORIGINAL SPIRAL BINDING. "Brassaï's early photographs concentrated on the nighttime world of Montparnasse a district of Paris then noted for its artists streetwalkers and petty criminals. His pictures were published in a successful book Paris de nuit 1933 which caused a stir because of its sometimes scandalous subject matter. His next book Voluptés de Paris made him internationally famous" Britannica. "Paris by Night was no sooner off the press than Brassaï sold the remaining photographs to the popular magazine Voilà and began another phase of his exploration of the city. In December 1933 he wrote his parents that he was taking the final photographs for his 'Paris intime' Pierre Mac Orlan had agreed to write the preface and publication was scheduled for March. "By October 1935 it was clear that the book had stalled at the publishers. Although Brassaï had received an advance the publisher claimed he was financially unable to bring the book out. When the book finally did emerge from the printer it was entitled Voluptés de Paris and there was no introduction by Mac Orlan. The unsigned preface mimicked a carnival barker's spiel touting the city to the potential reader like a lewd sideshow attraction: 'Paris the paradise of desire the capital of Adventure. Paris where you can find your every fantasy in reality.'. Available by mail order the book would be sent in a plain wrapper." Brassaï was not pleased with the production and distribution of the book and soon disowned it. "However Voluptés de Paris did not entirely escape critical notice. Peter Pollack. judged it among Brassaï's best work 'an invaluable collection of Brassaï's essential pictures'." Marja Warehime Brassai: Images of Culture and the Surrealist Observer. On the two issues: Anne Wilkes Tucker notes in her detailed book Brassaï: The Eye of Paris: "The book is very rare and for unknown reasons two versions exist. One has thirty-eight halftones and the other has forty-six. I have yet to see a copy of the larger edition with the binding intact so perhaps plates were removed to prevent the rings from breaking". This is the only copy we have seen complete with the forty-six photos and original spiral rings. Paris: Paris-Publications 1935. Quarto original orange wrappers original spiral binding; custom box. One leaf neatly detached; neat stars drawn on two leaves not affecting images. A spectacular copy. RARE. Paris-Publications unknown books
