A tree-lined staircase descends through the heart of Montmartre, its geometric stone steps and symmetrical rows of bare trees creating strong linear perspective toward a distant street lamp. The black and white photograph captures the quiet geometry of urban Paris, with delicate branches framing an empty, contemplative passage rendered in crisp tonal gradations. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
