It is perhaps symptomatic of the fashion industry that although the hair stylist and make up artist are both credited, the model herself is not names. Laroche (1921-1989) was one of the first designers to introduce separates (ie. jacket and trousers). His company continues today.

    . Une belle photographie en noir et blanc d'une séance de photos de mode pour Guy Laroche Haute-Couture. Photographie originale conservée sous passe partout. Modèle (anonyme) en veste de gabardine et chapeau de feutre. Au verso, le générique indique qu'il s'agit de la collection automne/hiver de Guy Laroche. Photographie en état neuf, maintenue sous un passe partout rigide avec un support cartonné fin. La photographie est pratiquement à l'état neuf. Le passe-partout est propre et net, avec seulement un peu de ruban adhésif sur les bords. Les dimensions de la photographie sont de 29,5 cm x 21 cm. Le passe-partout mesure 45 cm x 36 cm. Il est peut-être symptomatique de l'industrie de la mode que, bien que le coiffeur et le maquilleur soient tous deux mentionnés, le mannequin lui-même n'est pas nommé. Laroche (1921-1989) a été l'un des premiers créateurs à introduire des vêtements séparés (c'est-à-dire une veste et un pantalon). Sa société existe encore aujourd'hui.

This item is catalogued in the Philip Maritz Collection of Émile Béchard's Photographs of Egypt, which forms part of the American University in Cairo. Catalogue Ref. SC-2016-09.
    Émile Béchard was a notable French photographer born in 1844, recognized for his work in Egypt from around 1869 to 1880, especially in Cairo. He is best known for his evocative portraits and meticulously composed scenes depicting Egyptian daily life, including images of shopkeepers, merchants, workers, and dancers, framed through an orientalist perspective.

    . Première édition. Intitulée No. 58 dervish. en bas à gauche de la photographie, et plus clairement Béchard en bas à droite. Non datée, mais vers 1875. Une belle image montrant trois derviches sur les marches de la mosquée de Damas. Avec leurs coiffes sikke caractéristiques (hauts chapeaux cylindriques) et leurs pantoufles. L'un d'eux fume une pipe ou joue d'un très long sifflet ! L'image est clairement mise en scène, mais donne néanmoins une impression authentique de Damas vers 1875. La photographie mesure 25,5 cm x 22 cm sous un passe-partout biseauté crème de 35,5 cm x 32 cm. Les deux sont très propres et bien entretenus. Le passe-partout présente une légère bosse dans le coin supérieur droit. Une photographie rare. Cet article est répertorié dans la collection Philip Maritz des photographies d'Émile Béchard sur l'Égypte, qui fait partie de l'Université américaine du Caire. Référence du catalogue : SC-2016-09. Émile Béchard était un photographe français de renom né en 1844, reconnu pour son travail en Égypte entre 1869 et 1880, en particulier au Caire.

The second side shows the front of the National Opera with carriages, omnibuses and pedestrians milling around. What is particularly interesting in this shot, is that the lamp posts are being installed in Front of the Opera. These enable us to date the photograph as they were originally installed in 1875. These form part of the "Ring of Light" (Ceinture de Lumière), a set of 60 lighting fixtures designed by architect Charles Garnier as integral to the opera house's exterior when it opened on January 5, 1875. A nice photograph, if slightly faded. The backing card is 25.5cm x 30.5cm and has a couple of closed tears to the edges. (not affecting the prints). The sheet has obviously been removed from an album at some point.

    . Deux superbes photographies sur papier albuminé représentant Paris, collées sur les deux faces d'un même carton rigide. Elles mesurent toutes deux 21 cm x 28 cm. L'une représente une vue des Champs-Élysées prise depuis le sommet de l'Arc de Triomphe. Une image nette et lumineuse, montrant une foule de voitures sur la route, avec des piétons sur les larges trottoirs latéraux. La vue s'estompe au loin. Une photographie nette et de bonne qualité. Le deuxième côté montre la façade de l'Opéra national avec des voitures, des omnibus et des piétons qui s'affairent. Ce qui est particulièrement intéressant dans cette photo, c'est que des lampadaires sont en cours d'installation devant l'Opéra. Cela nous permet de dater la photographie, car ils ont été installés à l'origine en 1875. Ils font partie de la « Ceinture de Lumière », un ensemble de 60 luminaires conçus par l'architecte Charles Garnier comme partie intégrante de l'extérieur de l'opéra lors de son ouverture le 5 janvier 1875. Une belle photographie, bien qu'un peu décolorée. La carte de support mesure 25,5 cm x 30,5 cm et présente quelques déchirures fermées sur les bords (qui n'affectent pas les tirages). La feuille a manifestement été retirée d'un album à un moment donné.

    Otto Snoek photographed the images presented here during six trips to Ukraine between 1989 - 1992. He documents a poor and desperate - but proud - country, in the latter years of communism, and records the people and places in a style which means that different things happen simultaneously in his photos. Fascinating.

    Citation du site de l'éditeur : Les photographies de Sébastien Meunier plongent le spectateur dans un monde inquiétant. Sur fond de vie et de mort, il invoque une étrange distribution de personnages, d'animaux, d'objets et de symboles pour créer une mise en scène émotionnelle semblable aux scènes d'un film qui se gravent dans notre inconscient. Ses obsessions se révèlent également dans la précision exceptionnelle de son travail, chaque photographie témoignant d'une technicité méticuleuse. Ce livre révèle l'univers vivant que Sébastien Meunier a laissé derrière lui.
