'The Paris Book' finally published after 60-year wait


In

Ninety-year-old Marian Parry celebrates publication of volume of watercolour illustrations.

In 1952, Marian Parry presented her editor Curt Valentin with The Paris Book, a series of illustrations depicting the French capital during the early 1950s. But the project fell by the wayside after the editor’s death the following year. Over 60 years passed before the book was resurrected thanks to an independent publisher, Un-Gyve.
