After the Parisians, the Parisiennes. Pierre Le Gall publishes here the continuation of his first report on the inhabitants of Paris. Honor to women and to the myth of the Parisian, liberated, independent woman with envied charms. Through unfamiliar faces, and around street corners, Le Gall offers some stolen snapshots of the women of the capital. In the preface Robert Doisneau writes: “Like the cyclists of the memory, Pierre Le Gall followed some Parisian women to draw their portrait. Pick-pocketing, a perilous exercise… Anyone else would have suffered some rebuffs (…) but Pierre Le Gall has a strange gift (…) all his images seem to have been taken by the invisible man… “A very beautiful book which has never been republished.
