Paris Mortel.
Hilversum, Netherlands: DEBO, 1963. First Edition. Quarto. The Dutch filmmaker/photographer's third and most influential book. Featuring 65 gravure plates of Paris, beautifully printed on French-fold leaves, and divided into six sections. While van der Keuken carries on the tradition of the great Paris photobooks, with evocations of Moï Ver and Doisneau, the comparisons to William Klein's New York are unavoidable. (Parr / Badger, v1, 248-249). Save for remnant of contemporary price sticker to front endpaper, a near fine copy in cloth boards. In a lovely copy of the fragile blue jacket, with scuff to front panel, and minor chip to top corner of rear panel; about near fine.
