A Decisive Request

[FrankWheeler]

Hi there all,
I'm doing a little work on Henri Mattise and I was wondering if anyone had an original copy of Henri Cartier-Bresson's 'The Decisive Moment'. If anyone does, what I would really appreciate is a high technical quality image of the back cover, which I have found online but can only find as a small image. Thank you!

I actually ordered an original copy about a month ago and a few days ago I got an email saying it was "no longer available". Wish I could've helped...

Ah, shame, thank you though. Anyone else have a copy/image?

Didn't see your original post but I have a copy and am happy to take a shot. It is just Matisse swirls with the siganure bottom left.
Jpeg or Raw can shoot on D3 or Hasselblad P20 ?
One shot of the back and one with grey card?
My copy has some small brown marks but on the plain cream so will photoshop out easily.

Front from my Flickr, search "Decisive Moment" 😀

Back is less marked, dust jacket more brown, as most are now.

And the REAR 😀

Processed with flat not film curve and accurate white balance, perspective corrected so final image has less "punch" but is accurate (as far as I can make it but then I'm not a rostrum cameraman)
The front cover above is "whiter" and against the actual book less accurate.
