Photographs by Paul Child document the years he and his wife Julia spent in France, where she discovered cooking and wrote her first guide, and where he worked as a cultural attaché. A compelling, intimate collection of Paris and the French countryside, wonderfully walkable subjects, a role in which he first met Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and Brassaï. His photographs remained little seen until Julia’s memoir, and one of them is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
