Synopsis

André Kertész's iconic work, originally published in 1971, is reissued with striking new duotone reproductions. This collection features 68 photographs taken between 1920 and 1970, showcasing individuals engaged in reading across diverse global settings, from rooftops and public parks to busy streets and backstage at school plays.
