The Parisof dreams was a favorite subject of the photographer called Yvon. No mereshutterbug, Yvon roamed the city streets, often in the quiet hours, composingscenes of haunting beauty. Yvon’s Pariscollects many of his black-and-white photos from between the world wars, manyof them unseen for many years outside the albums of postcard collectors. The close-upof a gargoyle brooding over the skyline from his perch at Notre Dame is amasterpiece. Yvon’s artisanal printing process drew a rich spectrum of shadowsand mist from the lonely settings.
