Slight crease to top edge of spine of wrapper, otherwise very good condition. Bookstore sticker on case damaged. Editorially impressive album of color photographs by Eustachy Kossakowski (1925-2001), an outstanding Polish photographer living in France since 1970. "Lights of Chartres is one of the most important series in Eustachy Kossakowski's oeuvre and, unique with him, a departure from black-and-white photography in favor of color. The artist documents the light reflections on the walls of the medieval Chartres Cathedral. The impressive album of Chartres photographs, published by Jean-Claude Lattes in 1989, was named the most beautiful French book of the decade in a poll by Lire magazine. The series made Eustachy Kossakowski enter the history of French photography" (support.artmuseum.pl).
