A monograph dedicated to René-Jacques (René Giton, 1908–2003), a French photographer celebrated for his elegant black-and-white imagery, often of Paris and French life. Written by Pierre Borhan and Patrick Roegiers, this 1991 volume (from La Manufacture’s “Donations” series) offers a comprehensive overview of René-Jacques’ work, complete with an insightful introduction by the authors. Over 210 pages (24 × 31 cm format) showcase the photographer’s refined compositions and mastery of light, reflecting a career that bridges pre-war and post-war eras. The hardcover book is richly illustrated and printed to high standards, making it both a scholarly resource and a visually captivating object. It’s a content-rich tribute that will resonate with collectors of French photography, balancing factual depth with a restrained, essayistic tone.
