About this photographer | Photographs by this photographer
  
R. Parry Tahiti (Paris: Gallimard, 1934), First edition. Sm. 4to. Unpaginated. Illustrated wrappers in original glassine jacket. A delightful book covering various islands of Tahiti, incl. Papeete, Moorea and others. In 1934, the year of publication, Tahiti was not the tourist destination it is today. The wonderful b/w photographs by Roger Parry, who also is the photographer of Banalite, show people, landscapes and life in this French-Polynesian paradise the way it used to be. Text in French.
