First edition of Fritz Henle's Paris; from the library of American journalist William Safire
First edition, review copy of this fine collection of Parisian portraits by "the last classic freelance photographer" (Helmut Gernsheim) with the publisher's review copy slip tipped in. Quarto, original boards, illustrated. From the library of William Safire, although not marked. William Safire was an important American author, columnist, journalist, and presidential speechwriter. He joined Nixon’s campaign for the 1960 Presidential race, and supported him again in 1968. After Nixon’s 1968 victory, Safire served as a speechwriter for him and Spiro Agnew. He authored several political columns in addition to his weekly column “On Language” in The New York Times Magazine from 1979 until the month of his death and authored two books on grammar and linguistics: The New Language of Politics (1968) and what Zimmer called Safire’s “magnum opus,” Safire’s Political Dictionary. Safire later served as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board from 1995 to 2004 and in 2006 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. In very good condition.
German-born photographer Fritz Henle had a career spanning more than 60 years, during which he amassed an archive of more than 110,000 negatives, representing images of Europe, India, Japan, Hawaii, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean. 'Paris' contains a selection of portraits of the city and its people taken before the Second World War, when Paris was at peace and France was moderately prosperous.
