How would Paris look if images from its glorious past were placed side-by-side with photographs of the city today? In Paris: A Journey Through Time, Leonard Pitt does just this.
With a stunning array of archival & contemporary photos he peels away the many layers of old Paris to document the city's transformation with events such as the demolition of a section of rue Beaubourg in 1975 & its eventual reconstruction into modern condos & a shopping center, or the narrow cobblestoned rue du Four becoming the wide, paved street we know today bustling with automobiles & bicycles. Along with these photos from the past & present come detailed maps for walking tours with old schematics & plans for construction that may or may not have been carried out, illustrating the strange ways that a city can develop over hundreds of years.
Painstakingly researched, Paris: A Journey Through Time is a tour through Paris, seen through the lens of photographers who lived during each golden age of demolition & construction, & compiled into one tremendous account of the true hidden Paris.
