Lot Details
Henri Cartier-Bresson (French, 1908-2004) Street Corner Near the Gion District, Kyoto, Japan, 1965 Gelatin silver print, printed. c. 1965. Inscribed 'à Cynthia... amitiés Henri' in ink and with Cartier Bresson/Magnum stamp, verso. image: 6-5/8 x 9-3/4 inches (16.8 x 24.8 cm) sheet: 8 x 10 inches PROVENANCE: Bloomsbury Auctions, London, Photographs, November 23, 2012, lot 124.

Bloomsbury Auctions London, Photographs, November 23, 2012, lot 124
Neutral toned print on semi-gloss, midweight paper with black borders and margins. Some minor warming of highlights and light foxing across surface/ margins; few minor creases, dings and indentations; light wear to edges and corners -- all either visible in a raking light, under close inspection, or not affecting image significantly. A rare vintage print and wonderful image, only once offered at auction in recent history, in moderate/ good condition overall. Sold matted and unframed. Cartier-Breson's inscription, verso, doesn't really make a great deal of sense so has been truncated in the main description. It appears to read 'à Cynthia, the picture is [either] the incroyable [or] or uncropable [sic] caption amitiés Henri.'
