Kurzbeschreibung
Exploration of the graphic and visual memorials of subterranean Paris. Colour illus
Synopsis
The underground quarries beneath the city of Paris have been a mirror and memorial of events for over 500 years, with a long tradition of writing and painting on the walls. This book explores the diversity of visual statements that successive generations have left behind in these fantastic (and often phantasmagoric) images and words. All the generations of images are brought to light together for the first time.
