Full title is "Sale of Gold in the Last Days of the Kuomintang, Shanghai, China". Cartier-Bresson describes this stunning image as follows: "Shanghai, 1948. During the last days of the Kuomintang supremacy, the currency was failing and the government put gold on the market. People rushed to all the banks in the city and pushed and crowded those who had got there before them. Seven people died in the crushing of crowds."

Taken in 1948, this superb photograph looks like a rich platinum print with warm tones and a fantastic tonal range.

A genuine vintage photogravure, printed in Paris in 1963. Archivally mounted on 100% acid-free board and in a black 8"x10" wooden frame.
