Moscou vu par Henri Cartier-Bresson — Henri Cartier-Bresson — Robert Delpire — 1955

Street encounters, crowds and ordinary routines form Cartier-Bresson’s account of Moscow after Stalin’s death. Published in Delpire’s Collection Neuf, the French volume brings together 163 black-and-white photographs with an introductory text by the photographer. Its attention to daily life places individual gestures alongside the public face of the Soviet capital. This 1955 clothbound copy retains its illustrated dust jacket.
