Legendary American photographer Irving Penn who passed away in 2009 aged 92, shot a striking series of portraits of workers in mid 20th-century France, London and New York. They're currently on view in Paris at the Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, through July 25th. The show is called Les Petits Métiers (Small Trades). You can see more images at the Fondation's website or on Le Monde's blog.
