In 1932, Albert Londres tragically disappeared at sea. A field reporter, he traveled the world to investigate, alert, and denounce. Considered one of the greatest names in the history of the press, thanks to his writings, he is also the author of some 800 photographs illustrating his investigations, some published here for the first time. Through writing, Albert Londres denounces. Through images, he proves—thus accompanying the rise of images in news reporting and the emergence of photojournalism.
This book is therefore both a dive into the history of the early 20th century, a journey to the origins of contemporary journalism, and a reflection on the role played by images. It is accompanied by a text by Hervé Brusini, journalist, president and former winner of the Albert Londres Prize.
