This book is a revised and enlarged version of the original maquette for Josef Koudelkas book Cikani (Czech for Gypsies), prepared by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva in 1968, and intended for publication in Prague in 1970.
The Czech photographer Josef Koudelka was centre stage with his camera when the Soviet tanks rolled into Prague in 1968, photographing mass demonstrations and the confrontations between protesters and invading soldiers.
In 1988, the Centre Regional de la Photographie Nord-Pas-de-Paris began a long-term project to document the impact on the people and the area around Calais of the building of the Dover to Calais Channel Tunnel.
