Notes

The French philosopher and author Jean Paul Sartre’s face has been isolated from Cartier-Bresson’s environmental portrait, then most likely transferred to high-contrast orthochromatic film, and subsequently printed against a brown background, as part of a stylized graphic, for this book cover.
