Book Synopsis
Henri Cartier-Bresson travelled across Europe, from the Scandinavian shield to the Irish bogs, in order to produce this collection of photographs. It brings together images spanning the years from the late 1920s to the early 1970s, and seeks to capture what it means to be European.

Trade Review
'Cartier-Bresson’s influence has been immense . . . he has been largely responsible for our sense of how modern life looks' - London Review of Books
'Each image is a snapshot of one of those small, loosely connected sections of time that all join together to form the experience of life. Through Bresson’s lens, for just one moment, they are all real, raw and true' - Amateur Photographer
'A master of 20th-century photography ... a testament to a continent in the aftermath of war ... All European life is here' - Daily Express
'Iconic images abound' - Scotsman
