- Unique collection of 285 amateur photographs found, collected and edited by the highly respected French photohistorian Michel Frizot and the film and photography researcher Cédric de Veigy
- Defined by the authors as 'an anthropology of the ordinary', Photo Trouvée includes personal records of universal experiences by now-anonymous photographers - a child's first hesitant steps, the tranquillity of a siesta, a soap bubble on the point of bursting - which resonate emotionally with any viewer
- Carefully sequenced, the pictures are placed according to their atmosphere and rhythm to create a beautiful and thought-provoking book, sure to attract the attention of the general public, picture editors and researchers, and any photography enthusiast
- The influence of 'amateur' photography has grown tremendously within professional photographic circles, provoking the interest of such figures as Martin Parr and ensuring widespread interest in this exceptional collection
