Important and iconic photobook by Gabriele Basilico, Beyrouth 1991 (2003), documenting Beirut in the aftermath of the Lebanese civil war. This copy is the first French edition, published in 2003, issued concurrently with the original Italian edition published by Baldini & Castoldi, as part of the same authorized international editorial project. The book originates from Basilico’s photographic work carried out in Beirut in 1991 and focuses on the devastated city centre through a rigorous and analytical approach. It is widely regarded as a landmark publication in late 20th-century urban and architectural photography.
