The inaugural volume in the Collection Huit series, began by Robert Delpire is a throwback to a nineteenth century publication of the same name, which was itself part of a burgeoning literature of often satiric social physiognomies. Doisneau's is a profoundly humanist vision; his work in this diminutive volume celebrates quotidian life with a playful and ironic wit. "I like people for their weaknesses and faults. I get on well with ordinary people. When I photograph them," said Doisneau, "it is not as if I were examining them with a magnifying glass, like a cold and scientific observer. It's very brotherly. And it's better, isn't it, to shed some light on those people who are never in the limelight." photoeye.com/auctions/Auction.cfm?id=3942 Boards with light wear. Discoloration to the edges.
