The Paris of Ilya Ehrenburg knows no Louvres or Notre Dame , the Paris in which the Russian revolutionary lived from 1908 to 1940 was a place in which completely normal people with little money and limited hope struggled through life. Ehrenburg photographed them at their doors and in cafés, at work and at rest, in their poverty and dignity , and wrote brief texts that describe them.

El Lissitzky used very clear typography that puts a gentle rhythm into the book.
