Belles photos - articles inégaux
J'avais regretté de ne pouvoir visiter l'exposition. Je me suis rattrapé avec le livre. Les illustrations sont de belle qualité en revanche tous les articles ne présentent pas le même intérêt ni le même niveau d'érudition.Lecture recommandée pour tout amateur averti.
