Recommended Posts

<p>From <em>The Independent</em> :<br>

"Prints made by the celebrated French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, supposedly destroyed after a flood, are turning up on the market, according to his widow. The allegation is deeply embarrassing to the French government which was given the 551 images by one of the greatest photographic masters in 1955 and 1970."</p>
