The photographer Pierre Yves-Petit who called himself 'Yvon', wandered the streets of Paris between the world wars looking for the moment when the shifting light and clouds would perfectly reveal the city's ephemeral, iconic beauty. Yvon's Paris reproduces more than 100 of his loveliest images, many made from recently discovered glass negatives. This elegant and poetic collection captures the magic of Paris at its most photogenic.
These images, which once found their way into the Parisian postcards of the early 20th century, came to represent the city for tourists and locals alike.
