I’ve never been to Paris, and it isn’t so high on my list of priorities. But I do find its history interesting.
Starting 1265 and ending in 2015, Vincent Mahé has created 60 pages that focus on a single block, serving to highlight not just the changing architecture over the centuries, but also the historical events and time periods that shaped Paris. Fires, plagues, uprisings, revolutions, renovations, wars, strikes, terror attacks. They’re all there. The images tell a vibrant story without a shred of dialogue.
It reminded me a bit of Virginia Lee Burton’s The Little House.
It’ll appeal to fans of visual story telling, history, and architecture.
