BOUBAT, Edouard


Ode Maritime. Photographs and brief text by Edouard Boubat. Additional text by Bernard George. Heibosha, Japan, 1957. Unpaged text + plates. First edition. Stiff cardboard wrappers in photo-illustrated dust jacket. 32 black-and-white and 8 color plates. Text in French and Japanese.

Boubat's touching look at those who live their lives in harmony with--and at the mercy of--the sea. An incredibly scarce book.
