"Paris, Before it is Too Late is a curated selection of 60 vintage photographs by
the French photographer André Ostier. Spanning the career of Ostier from his days
in Paris during World War II to the 1960s and 1970s, the striking images capture the
City of Light through his eyes and instill a certain sense of nostalgia. The famous
fashion photographer, known for his work with the couturier Christian Dior, sought
to document a fleeting Old Paris by capturing its people, buildings, and the special
moments of the city he so admired. Part of the book is a replica of an album Ostier
put together himself, Paris, Before it is Too Late. Uniquely, this book also includes
a specially curated selection of rare and haunting images that Ostier took during
the war. The insatiable visual curiosity of the Paris photographer André Ostier (1906-1994)
led Thomas Michael Gunther to capture a wealth of images during his lifetime. Known
for his portraits of artists and writers, he also chronicled the fancy-dress balls
of the glamorous 1950s and 1960s. In this work, the Paris-based historian of photography
Thomas Michael Gunther takes a close look at the passion and conviction that characterize
André Ostier's views of the City of Light"--Publisher's description
