Its director was Albert Mermoud, who, thanks to his good relationships with French-speaking Switzerland and French writers and artists, also made the Guilde du Livre a success in French-speaking countries. Edited by Anatole Desachy, the publication offers a chronological overview of 84 photo books presented in 600 illustrations. Bibliographic notes and descriptive texts convey a clear picture of the thematic and aesthetic diversity of the photo books published by the Guilde du Livre, including well-known works of photographic art by Robert Doisneau, Izis, Paul Strand and Gotthard Schuh.
