Robert Doisneau's photography is widely known for its gentleness and humanity. For many of us, his Kiss at the H6tel de Ville (cover) sums up all the romance and allure of Paris and the French. This book is the first to survey the whole range of Doisneau's photography, from 1929 to 1992, placing it within the context of its time, and examining how his distinctive perspective has produced an extraordinary range of outstanding images. Based on extensive research by Peter Hamilton, the book offers both an indispensable introduction to Doisneau's photography, and an unforgettable selection of his pictures.
