CLASSICS ON THE STREET An Automotive Odyssey France 1953 (Straub 1998) (A)

Rare an very appealing book of photos taken by the author while living in Paris in 1953 - and a short trip to London the same year. Straub captured an amazing variety of rare and exotic cars (Delahaye Delage, Bugatti etc etc ) in use or parked on the roads of the French Capital. The quality of the photos varies from snapshot to well framed study but the backdrops and the degree of 'every day use' obvious evokes an era beautifully. Minor shelf wear to corners and edges of spine
