AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Portrait vivant d’une commune (1996) is a documentary photography book capturing the life of the rural community of Kergrist‑Moëlou in Brittany, France. Edited by Patrick Bertrand and published collaboratively by the École primaire de Kergrist‑Moëlou, the Centre multimédia de Rostrenen, and the local cultural association Le Chaudron, the volume presents a vivid and intimate portrait of the commune’s inhabitants, daily routines, and social fabric.

Produced through a year‑long project by local photographers, the book preserves a unique snapshot of village life and community spirit in the 1990s. This title is rarely encountered on the market, making it a sought‑after collectible for those interested in regional documentary photography and cultural history.

Seller's Story

I strive to find and offer you the most interesting items from Prague’s antiquarian bookstores and second-hand shops: autographs, rarities, photographs, bibliophilia, old prints, posters, maps, catalogs, high-quality or sold-out books, as well as fine art. Prague has always been a meeting point of cultures and languages. Especially during the 20th century, Czechoslovakia was visited by numerous world-renowned artists, writers, scientists, and other notable figures who left their mark here and established connections with local culture or institutions. So the selection here will be rich in provenance — including German, French, English, Russian, or, for example, Italian. However, I will also aim to highlight more or less well-known Czech artists and noteworthy items — of interest to collectors and art lovers, especially those passionate about autographs, fine art, and related fields.
