Description: First Edition of Henri Cartier-Bresson's classic work, with 125 photographs with extremely scarce dust jacket;seperate caption pamphlet (rarely found) laid inside the book. This is Cartier-Bresson's most famous work,containing his most comprehensive and important statement on the meaning, techniques, and utility ofphotography. Cartier-Bresson has a special interest in photographing people and in capturing the essence of what has not previously been seen. He is famous for his theory of the 'decisive moment'- that is seizing the split second when the subject stands revealed in its most significant aspect. Today he ranks as one of the most important andinfluential photographers of this century.Jacket design was done by MatisseThere is a seperation at the top of the spine but was repaired so it won't go any further. The bottom of the spinealso has some shelf ware. Inside the front cover there is a slight paper crease and after the second blankpage there is a little page seperation. The dust jacket also has some tears but isn't falling apart. I will enclude all the pictures of damage.Inside the cover the first blank page is the signature of the previous owner, MIKE TATEM. Also a professionalphotographer.I have enclosed several photos of the damaged areas for your review.All the pages are tight, no markings, no bent corners. .
