Kinderen in de grote stad

€45.00
B/w photographs of children in the city by Oscar van Alphen, text in Dutch by Adriaan Morrien
Design Jurriaan Schrofer. A wonderful book depicting children in the big city. A book contemporary of Doisneau’s Gosses de Paris (1956) and of which many pictures are reminiscent of Helen Levitt (Ways of seeing is from 1965). Certainly one of the most exiting Dutch photography books in the mid fifties.
