'The Paris of Ilya Ehrenburg knows no Louvre or Notre Dame and shows the Eiffel Tower crouching behind shabby facades and building timber. 'My Paris' is an impressive work of photographic social reporting. It presents portraits of the elderly and children, workers and outcasts and stands in stark contrast to the glamorous Paris of so many idealized representations. El Lissitzky used very clear typography that puts a gentle rhythm into the book. 'Moi Parizh - My Paris' is an extremely rare object, which is presented anew as a reprint.
