Jacques Henri Lartigue, born in 1894 in Courbevoie, was given a
camera as a boy by his father at the dawn of the 20th Century.
He began taking photographs of his life, including snapshots of his
parents; his bedroom; his nanny Dudu throwing a ball up into the air; his
brother jumping off a boat.

Belle Époque, an
era of political, commercial and creative optimism.
Lartigue went on to photograph his brother Zissou's inventions,
including a glider lifting off in a gust of wind, and his cousins racing around
in home-made go-karts.
He photographed the social parade in the Bois de Boulogne, a large
park on the outskirts of Paris, where the fashions of the upper echelons of
society were displayed.
Lartigue: The Boy and the Belle Époque is published by Thames &
Hudson.
