French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson's (1908–2004) photo book "Moscou" was published in French alongside its English counterpart, "The People of Moscow." The French edition, published by Éditions Neuf, headed by renowned editor Robert Delpire, left a significant mark on postwar photography publishing. The 163 black-and-white photographs, set in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, capture "decisive moments" of everyday life and cityscapes. The images of workers, children, and townspeople gathering in the square transcend propaganda and portray universal human activity, conveying the breath of the city and its human warmth. Delpire's sophisticated editing and layout elevated the artistic quality of the photo book medium and further established Cartier-Bresson's name internationally. This book is a historic masterpiece that combines the perspectives of both the photographer and the editor. (The back cover has been extensively repaired and there is a signature.)
