Beginning in 1901, when the telephoto lens was 10 years old, the Marriages began systemmatic shooting of the sculpture of one of the most outstanding Gothic cathedrals in France or elsewhere. The original 1909 classic is still available for $50 to $100 on many of the internet used and rare book dealers (my copy was $47), and those interested in this suject are urged to seek it out. The edition offered here - a copy of which I sent back - is a poor reprint. There are two features that recommend the original work: an excellent descriptive text in both English and French, and the stunning photography. This oversize reprint reproduces the text clearly, but the photographs (every other page) look like they were run on a dying Xerox, and are functionly useless, especially for the close study they were designed for. Find a good original and avoid this reprint.
