Description: Boston: New York Graphic Society, 1979. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0821207563. Illustrated by Cartier-Bresson, Henri. "Working with his portable and discreet Leica - the metal covered with black tape to hide the shine - Cartier-Bresson has roamed the streets and backroads of the world seeking that decisive moment when meaning and composition unite to make an image at once significant and beautiful. This book is the crowning publication in a great career, a summation of his lifework. It is the only major book now available on this preeminent and influential figure, and it does full justice to the original photographs, through the finest quality double impression offset printing and the large-scale, one-to-a-page presentation. The photographer selected the images included, which date from 1929 to 1979; it is an extraordinary body of work." - dust jacket. 155 duotone illustrations on glossy stock.
