Paris photographe N°10 de la 3ème année

First edition of this extremely rare scholarly journal founded and directed by Paul Nadar.
Each copy contains at least two plates outside the text, including a plate of photographic prints by Nadar and a photograph often reproduced in heliogravure.
Contributions by P. Nadar, A. and L. Lumière, A. Marey, G. Geffroy, J. Grand-Carteret, J. Demarçay, Davison, S. Ferrand, H. Fourtier, C. Gravier, A. Guerronnan, Ponton d'Amécourt, H. Reeb, L. Vidal, J. Waterhouse... "We believe we are advancing progress by further engaging the public's interest in this entirely French discovery of Photography...". Thus did Paul Nadar conclude his introduction as a presentation of this precious journal, containing a photograph by the celebrated photographer in each issue. At the origin of the creation of Paris-photographe, P. Nadar explains the absence of a luxurious photography journal in France, contrary to the magnificent foreign publications.
Small marginal tears at foot of first cover, otherwise a handsome copy.
Of exceptional rarity.
