Oblong hardbound 4:o in publisher's orange cloth with photo pasted on front board and the original title construction on rear board. No dust jacket, as issued. Fine! Signed on titlepage by J. H. Engström. To some extent an experimental photo book with the endless and, at the same time, closed world being the Paris airport Charles de Gaulle. Here explored in a way that only J H Engström can do with the prints almost in the haze. In the end there is an opening. Not paginated. Title, 53 photographs and colophon page.
J H Engström moved to Paris with his parents when he was 10 years old. Charles de Gaulle was the first stunning contact with the world outside the provincial Sweden. In this book he has explore the memories of his childhood during three weeks.
