Cover back and front

This small-format softcover book bewitches with its simple, straight-forward 1930’s layout and design. The images (by Charles Kœchlin, Daniel Biot and Jean de Morène) show PORTS in Morlaix, Saint-Raphaël, Bordeaux, Marseille, Toulon & Sainte-Maxime (France), Gênes (Genoa Italy), Stambul (Istanbul Turkey), Ostende (Ostend, Belgium), Salonique (Thessaloniki Greece), London (UK), Venise (Venice Italy), and Volendam (Netherlands). Full bleed photographs printed in wonderful gravure, ranging in style from pictorialism to modernism. Each plate is protected by a glassine page. A romantic hymn to an era long gone.
