The Man of Property

The central figure and perspective of trees in this cover illustration are adapted from one of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s best known images, The Allée du Prado, Marseille, France 1932. The figure has been changed; his dress is grey instead of black, his umbrella has been replaced by a walking stick, and he’s lost his cigarette holder and bowler hat, but the outline and proportions are a precise match.
