A very handsome, large-format limited edition book of the lost photographs of Patrick O’Higgins, best known for Madame, his memoir about Helena Rubinstein. His photographs are a fascinating record of literary and artistic lives in post-WW2 Europe: his sitters include Stephen Spender, Elsa Schiaparelli, Cecil Beaton, John Richardson, Tennessee Williams, Jean Cocteau and Somerset Maugham… A wonderful mix of cafe society portraits and genre images. Limited to 500 copies.
