<p>A lovely anthology of images of Paris in the 50's. 200+ duotone photo illus. plates. Dutch photographer Ed Van der Elsken, at the time impoverished and himself living in Paris, captured the grit and beauty of Paris in the 1950's - his images reveal the bustling, seamy side of 1950's Saint-Germain as well as erotic and all-too-human glimpses of sexy, beautiful women. Captured here are a very young Brigitte Bardot, Ethel Portnoy, Fernandel, Orson Welles, Edith Piaf, Christian Dior, Elsa Schiaparelli, the cafes and clubs of Montmartre and Montparnasse, plus a large selection of images from the Dutch photographer's renowned book, Love on the Left Bank. One of the most iconic bodies of work in any medium on Parisian life in the early 50s. Includes a section on Australian "femme fatale" Vali Myers, who was featured Love on the Left Bank.

<p>Ed van der Elsken dove into his extensive archive in the late seventies to compile a book of his black-and-white images of Amsterdam, the city in which he had always lived, with the exception of 1950-1954. He often worked in the neighbourhood of his house on Koningsstraat, taking photos on the Nieuwmarkt, Zeedijk and Waterlooplein. Atmospheric images of the fifties, the riots during the turbulent sixties, lots of people, young people, but also architecture and degradation in the old city centre. This unique document has now been reissued, including new scans from the original negatives.</p>

Lecturis

The first book by Ed van der Elsken completely in colour, based predominantly on his travels for the magazine Avenue, was released in 1977. The starting point for this book was love, particularly the love between man and woman as it exists all over the world. Halfway though, the focus changed and became the struggle for existence that men and women experience in solidarity. Just as with the book 'Amsterdam!', all original slides have been cleaned, scanned and meticulously edited using a new technique developed by the restoration studio of the Nederlands Fotomuseum. This reprint presents Van der Elskens work in the best quality.
