    Paris: France Soir, 1945. First edition / Original items A very nice photograph from the trial of Pétain and Laval. We cannot find any copy online of this press photograph having been used at the time. The trial of Philippe Pétain was among the most significant political events in post-World War II France, resulting in a conviction for treason due to his role in the Vichy regime and collaboration with Nazi Germany. The original silver gelatin press photograph was for use in France Soir* and has the newspaper stamp to the rear. The image shows trial judge André Ausset speaking at the trial of Pétain. 18cm x 23.5cm.

    (*Libé Soir was a French newspaper, often linked with the Resistance during World War II, but it ceased publication in April 1947. After the liberation it transitioned into France Soir). Philippe Pétain, Marshal of France and leader of the Vichy government, was tried for treason in 1945, accused of betraying France by signing the armistice with Germany, refusing to move the government to North Africa, collaborating with the Nazis, and failing to resist German demands. The trial was dramatic and controversial, with public passions running high and a lack of clarity over what legally constituted treason given the extraordinary circumstances of the occupation. Pétain was convicted and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted to life imprisonment due to his age and prior military service. André Mornet was the General Prosecutor at the 1945 trials of key Vichy regime figures, including Laval and Pétain. He was a French magistrate who served at a high level before the Vichy government but later became a resistance member from 1943. At the trials he strongly pursued death sentences, famously delivering forceful and unyielding requisitions condemning them for treason and collaboration with the Germans. His prosecutorial style at these trials was marked by his call for a "sacred hatred" against the accused, emphasising their betrayal of France.

    . Première édition / Pièces originales Très belle photographie du procès de Pétain et Laval. Nous ne trouvons aucune copie en ligne de cette photographie de presse ayant été utilisée à l'époque. Le procès de Philippe Pétain a été l'un des événements politiques les plus marquants de l'après-guerre en France. Il a été condamné pour trahison en raison de son rôle dans le régime de Vichy et de sa collaboration avec l'Allemagne nazie. La photographie de presse originale en gélatine argentique a été utilisée par France Soir* et porte le cachet du journal au verso. L'image montre le juge André Ausset s'exprimant lors du procès de Pétain. 18 cm x 23,5 cm.

    (*Libé Soir était un journal français, souvent lié à la Résistance pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, mais il a cessé de paraître en avril 1947. Après la libération, il est devenu France Soir). Philippe Pétain, maréchal de France et chef du gouvernement de Vichy, a été jugé pour trahison en 1945, accusé d'avoir trahi la France en signant l'armistice avec l'Allemagne, d'avoir refusé de transférer le gouvernement en Afrique du Nord, d'avoir collaboré avec les nazis et de ne pas avoir résisté aux exigences allemandes. Le procès fut dramatique et controversé, avec des passions publiques exacerbées et un manque de clarté sur ce qui constituait légalement une trahison étant donné les circonstances extraordinaires de l'occupation. Pétain est reconnu coupable et condamné à mort, mais sa peine est commuée en prison à vie en raison de son âge et de son service militaire antérieur. André Mornet a été le procureur général lors des procès de 1945 des principales personnalités du régime de Vichy, dont Laval et Pétain. Magistrat français ayant servi à un haut niveau sous le gouvernement de Vichy, il est devenu résistant à partir de 1943. Lors des procès, il a fermement réclamé des condamnations à mort, en prononçant des réquisitions énergiques et inflexibles les condamnant pour trahison et collaboration avec les Allemands. Son style d'accusation lors de ces procès a été marqué par son appel à une "haine sacrée" contre les accusés, soulignant leur trahison de la France.

Schwind, the Romantic, was himself devoted with all his soul to the sister art; Not only did he like to practise, his whole being was absorbed in music. The laws of beauty seemed to him to be fulfilled more nobly than in the works of contemporary visual art in the classical musical compositions of Mozart and Beethoven, with whom he was well acquainted. What he sought there in vain: depth of feeling, clarity of expression, nobility of form, here he found it expressed. Schwind was influenced by his circle of friends with and around Franz Schubert and Franz von Schober. He took part in the "Schubertiades" (1821-1828), belonged to a reading society founded in 1822, whose members gave themselves names from the Nibelungenlied - Schubert was called "Volker the Singer" and Schwind "Giselher the Child" because of his youth - and repeatedly illustrated the same originals "that had also inspired his friend Schubert to musical utilisation" (e.g. Goethe's ballads "An Schwager Kronos", "Der Erlkönig", "Der Schatzgräber").

The photo-book Published in collaboration with Tel Design, Koninklijke Drukkerij GJ Thieme Nijmegen and Kadee Delft. 24 black and white photographs printed on glossy photo paper. To the rear of each are the details about the subject, the scene and those who participated. A fascinating concept in photography. A complex scene is set up - and the central subject is blind folded and brought into the scene. The blindfold is then briefly removed - and the photograph taken. They are then apparently blind folded again, and only see what was really there when the photograph is produced. Very good condition.
