Bing's All Paris in a Box (1952) is an exceptional mounted exhibition print
that embodies a tourist view of Paris.

In
contrast to a less tightly cropped print in the collection of MoMA New York
(image 2), this much darker print adds drama by removing genre details
including the park bench and the seated vendor, to concentrate the viewer's
attention on the tourist souvenirs rather than the setting.

This
contrast is even greater when our economic print is compared to busier late
prints of the image in the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and the
Detroit Institute of Arts (image 3)
