Full title is "Paris. Shopping on a Sunday Morning, rue Mouffetard" and this is one of Cartier-Bresson's most famous images. The boy proudly carrying home his "shopping" of two magnums of red captures the joyful spirit of both youth and Paris. Rue Mouffetard is in the Latin Quarter and has been called "the oldest street in Paris" dating back over 2000 years.
Taken in 1954, 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.
