Summary:
Between the years 1950 and 1972, when Paris was in the twilight of its classical period, pilot and photographer Roger Henrard preserved the city he knew and loved from the seat of a single-engine American army surplus Piper Cub. Henrard used a high-speed plate camera to systematically document the city from its outskirts to its centre. His photographs show not only Paris's stations, museums, department stores, and housing projects but also its urban fabric and interconnections - the tightly knit medieval districts as well as the rectilinear geometry of the Haussmanian boulevards. "Above Paris" is Henrard's study of the urban landscape of Paris and its best-known monuments. Images, grouped by themes such as the course of the Seine, the main roads, the stations, and the neighborhoods of Paris give a clear overview of the city's layout. Maps at the beginning of each chapter orient the reader.

Summary:
Phase de transition entre tradition et modernité, la période du Mandat (1920-1940), après la disparition de l'Empire ottoman, place le Liban sous l'administration de la France. Cette influence occidentale, tant politique que culturelle, laisse son empreinte sur l'architecture et le paysage urbain, en particulier à Beyrouth qui devient alors le siège du pouvoir français en Orient. Les analyses socio-historiques et typologiques dévoilent la richesse architecturale de cet héritage en étudiant les débuts de l'occidentalisation à Beyrouth dans l'architecture domestique, processus qui s'étend des dernières années du XIXe siècle jusqu'aux années trente. Un des modèles emblématiques est notamment révélé par le développement des bâtiments construits autour d'un hall central évoluant depuis la maison de banlieue jusqu'à l'appartement urbain type. Une abondante documentation inédite répertorie une trentaine de bâtiments caractéristiques, avec relevés détaillés de façade, éléments de modénature et photographies. Ce recensement est désormais d'autant plus précieux que nombre de bâtiments ont aujourd'hui disparu.

Summary:
Long Island’s North Fork is a pastoral quilt of vineyards and farms by the sea. To the north are the sandy beaches of Long Island Sound and to the south a collection of harbors and fishing villages overlooking Peconic Bay. Stretching out some thirty miles from the mainland, this narrow peninsula is a place of serenity and beauty. Photographer Jake Rajs has captured the spirit of the North Fork - the glorious colors of sunrise and sunset, the calm waters, and the vast expanses of fields and wetlands. He focuses on architectural landmarks as well - the Victorian houses on Shelter Island, eighteenth-century barns, the Orient Point Lighthouse - to create a complete portrait of this unspoiled land. Complementing the visual presentation is an essay by Jesse Browner that evokes the spirit of the North Fork and its people, tracing the evolution of the land from colonial farms to the vineyards that have emerged over the past thirty years.

(available to order)
Summary:
Following the invention of the daguerreotype and calotype processes in 1839, views of ruins, classical statuary, and the antiquities of the Mediterranean and the Orient were among the first images produced by pioneer photographers. The unique accuracy and immediacy of photographs fundamentally changed aesthetic and scholarly approaches to the artifacts of the past. This book, published to coincide with the inaugural exhibition at the Getty villa, explores the intellectual underpinnings of the relationship between antiquity and photography in the period 1840-1880. Drawing on the extensive collections of the Getty museum and the Getty research institute, this illustrated volume presents an introduction to the subject, followed by a detailed discussion of the influence of photography on archaeology, by an analysis of the ways antiquity is depicted, and by biographical studies of two major photographers, Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey and William James Stillman. Portfolios of works by Maxime Du Camp, John B. Greene, Francis Frith, Robert Macpherson, Adolphe Braun, and others appear between the essays.
