Georges Pompidou
Printed later on fiber-based paper
Edition 1/1
60 x 40 cm
Black wooden frame, and mat.
In the history of journalism, no Prime Minister had ever let himself be photographed in such informal wear. Georges Pompidou, during a short trip relaxing in Brittany, August, 1965, wades in the water, net in hand, hunting for shrimp like any ordinary vacationer. He would keep this easygoing style in the Elysée Palace well after being elected President.0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds -

Printed later on fiber-based paper
Edition 1/1

Black wooden frame, and mat.
June 25, 1967. While on a state visit to Canada, Charles de Gaulle attends the 1967 World’s Fair. The previous evening, from his hotel balcony, the French president hurled a thundering “Vive le Québec libre” (Long Live a Free Quebec) to a crowd of 100,000 ecstatic Québécois. Four words that provoked the ire of Canadian authorities who accused their guest of meddling with their internal affairs. Three years later, it was this picture that would be selected to illustrate Paris Match’s memorial issue on the occasion of the death of the French leader.0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds -

Iran
Printed later on fiber-based paper
Edition 1/1
53 x 80 cm
Floater frame.
This bus from Ispahan could be driving through any town in Europe or America. In the early 1960’s, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi’s Iran was a prosperous nation. But its fast track to modernity disseminated truths the leader refused to acknowledge: deprived of their freedom, the people were having a hard time watching their traditions vanish. The Ayatollah Khomeini was already secretly planning what would become, ten years later, the Islamic Revolution.0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds -

Charles de Gaulle
Printed later on fiber-based paper
Edition 1/1
60 x 60 cm
Black wooden frame, and mat.
June 1951. It is rare to capture the General de Gaulle with a smile. Then president of the RPF (French People’s Party), de Gaulle poses along the Isle, near Périgueux, where he was holding a political meeting. The Hero of June 18 was counting on winning the legislative vote that was scheduled to be held on the… 17th. A promising symbol for what would become a partial electoral failure. Seven years later, who would have guessed that he would become the first president of the Fifth Republic. The year 2020 will mark the 50th anniversary of his death.0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds -

Printed later on fiber-based paper

It’s “Occupy Wall Street” before its time. The Poor People’s March on Washington in the spring of 1968 brought together tens of thousands of Americans, black and white, for a sit-in that lasted nearly six weeks at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial. After the fight for civil rights, theirs would be the final battle in the name of Martin Luther King who, assassinated two months earlier, had organized this campaign to occupy the National Mall with a shantytown.0Days0Hours0Minutes0Seconds -
