Love on the Left Bank (Een liefdesgeschiedenis in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, 1956) is a photo book by Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken (1925-1990), documenting the bohemian life on the Rive Gauche of Paris. Vali Myers (1930–2003) is shown throughout the book, along with some of her early drawings.
Vali Myers is depicted as the haunting kohl-eyed heroine in what has been called a roman à clef photo-novel. The book was designed by Dutch graphic designer, sculptor, typographer Jurriaan (William) Schrofer (1926–1990) and quickly sold out. Its filmic qualities led to Elsken's experiments with, and parallel career in, cinema.
Amongst its pages can be found the faces not only of artists but also of nascent Lettrist International members and Situationists at the cafe Chez Moineau. Among the people depicted are a few members and associates of the LI (particularly Mension and Papaï).
