A beautiful collection of photographs by Lucien Clergue, a leading figure in 20th-century French photography, published in 1968 by Éditions Pierre Belfond.

A copy in full brown leather binding, with gilt lettering on the spine, displaying fine craftsmanship (sewn sections, thick endpapers).
Complete with its original illustrated dust jacket, here in very fine condition, which has become quite rare.

Interior very clean, with no noticeable foxing, fresh paper.
Solid binding, corners and caps in good condition.
