DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Pictures of Paris Some Parisians "Bonjour, Messieurs, Madame, la compagnie." The voice, a gramophonic, wheezy little voice, came from somewhere below our knees, and looking down from contemplation of the pictures, we saw a personage who, save that he had no pointed cap upon his head, and was dressed in a suit of customary black, might well have been one of the goblins who made off with Gabriel Grub. "Cakesy sah?" said Harold, who is proud of his French. "Chasseur d'Afrique!" said the New Yorker, this being his favourite exclamation, and one of the few French expressions of which he really has a mastery. "Permit," the Vicomte said, bowing to Mademoiselle, "permit I make the introduction." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book turns a compelling new lens on thinking about the history of Paris and photography. The invention of photography changed how history could be written. But the now commonplace assumptions--that photographs capture fragments of lost time or present emotional gateways to the past--that structure today's understandings did not emerge whole cloth in 1839. Focusing on one of photography's birthplaces, Paris and the Cliché of History tells the story of how photographs came to be imagined as documents of the past. Author Catherine E. Clark analyzes photography's effects on historical interpretation by examining the formation of Paris's first photo archives at the Musée Carnavalet and the city's municipal library, their use in illustrated history books and historical exhibitions and reconstructions such as the 1951 celebration of Paris's 2000th birthday, and the public's contribution to the historical record in amateur photo contests. Despite the photograph's growing importance in these forums, it did not simply replace older forms of illustration, visual documentation, or written text. Photos worked in complex and shifting relation to other types of pictures as photographers, popular historians, and publishers built on the traditions and iconography of painting and engraving in order to both document the past scientifically and objectively and to reconstruct it romantically. In doing so, they not only influenced how Parisians thought about the city's past and how they pictured it; they also ensured that these images shaped how Parisians lived their own lives--especially in deeply charged moments such as the Liberation after World War II. This history of picturing Paris does not simply reflect the city's history: it is Parisian history.
