Charles Marville: Photographer of Paris (Metropolitan Museum, New York: Exhibition Catalogues) by Sarah Kennel
While I was quite impressed with Charles Marville's urban photography that recorded the massive reconstruction and redesign that was occuring in Paris during his lifetime, I found the essays that accompanied the photos to be an absolute bore to read. They were not compelling at all, and seemed more concerned with imparting facts and dates than exploring the motives behind Marville's work or the themes that he captured. I managed to read the introductory/biographical section, but I gave up show more completely for the remaining essays and focused instead on simply enjoying the photos included in the book. show less
