Place des Vosges in Paris, 1928, Silver Gelatin Black and White Photography
Located in Atlanta, GA
A unique original silver gelatin black and white photography. View from the Place des Vosges in Paris, November 1928. Features: Original Silver Gelatin Print Photography Unframed. Press Photography. Press Agency: Anonymous. Photographer: Anonymous. Title: Place des Vosges in Paris, November 1928. Provenance: Private collection. Image Size: 4.33 in high (11.6 cm) x 5.51 in wide (14.5 cm) - Archivally matted in a 17 x 13 mat. We will ship the piece in a mat (17 x 13 in) that fits a standard-sized frame. No ink stamp, no legend. Note: The Place des Vosges, originally the Place Royale, is the oldest planned square in Paris, France. It is located in the Marais district and straddles the dividing line between The 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris. It was a fashionable and expensive square to live in during the 17th and 18th Centuries and one of the main reasons for the chic nature of Le Marais among the Parisian nobility. Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. It is an authentic square (140 m × 140 m) and embodied one of the first European programs of royal city planning (Plaza Mayor in Madrid, begun in 1590, precedes it). It was built on the site of the Hôtel des Tournelles and its gardens: at a tournament at the Tournelles, a royal residence, Henri II was wounded and died. Catherine de Medici had the Gothic complex demolished, and she moved to the Louvre Palace. The Place Royale, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand carousel to celebrate the engagement of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria...

Marilyn's Wedding/The bridal Couple, June 19th 1942, 29, 8 x 20 cm
Located in Cologne, DE
Norma Jeane Mortenson or better known as Marilyn Monroe – iconic, beautiful and maybe the most known Hollywood Stars of the 20th century. Born and raised in Los Angeles, USA, she spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanage. She got married with only 16 years old and while working for a factory during WW II, she met a photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit and started a succesful modeling career. The rest of her life is history: In the 50s she was one of the most marketable actresses, had held leading roles in various movies and was known for her immense sex appeal. As a highly intelligent woman, she knew how to build a career, while, in her private life she struggled with addiction and mood disorder. At the age of 36 she died from an overdose of barbiturates at her Los Angeles home. With her breathy voice and hourglass figure, she is until today one of Hollywood's most famous actresses.
