This classic treatise features some of the Bauhaus teacher's finest examples of photograms, negative prints and photomontage; Errata's spread-by-spread reproduction of the volume also includes a contemporary essay by noted photo-historian David Evans.

Summary:
In 1969, the French oil company Total began implementing a mass-production model for its gas stations—large ones for France's freeways, and the smaller roadside units.
