I am sure that someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that
H.C.-B.'s pictures from that era were printed by the genius Henri Gassman
who, sadly, is no longer with us on papers which, sadly, are no longer with
us.  These prints may or may not have exhibited a "Leica Glow" or the glow
of some other maker's lens...about which we will now argue ad nauseum.

Leafing through the pages of HCB's _A propos de Paris_, I'm struck again by
the beauty of these prints.  Not just what was captured, but the quality of
the printed image itself.  These images are what leave me struggling for
words, and resorting to inadequate terms like "warmth" and "glow."
