Lot Essay

Within the covers designed by Miró, The Europeans includes 114 photographs by Cartier-Bresson taken in Europe between 1950-1955. These are accompanied by the photographer's writings:
'Autrefois on illustrait la géographie du monde par des reproductions des grands monuments ou des figurations de types ethniques, aujourd'hui les éléments humains livrés par la photographie s'y ajoutent et désaxent cette vue' (H. Cartier-Bresson, in The Europeans).
