About the Item
Original heliogravure by Brassaï, published in the landmark first edition of Verve (Vol. I No. 1, December 1937), Éditions Verve, Paris. This evocative photograph captures a classical headless statue enveloped in ivy—an image rich in poetic decay and timeless surrealism.
Brassaï’s fascination with the hidden, the nocturnal, and the forgotten corners of Paris finds an echo in this silent composition, where nature and artifice collide. The texture, tone, and clarity of this heliogravure are exceptional—reflecting the high standard of Verve, printed at Mourlot Frères and curated by the visionary editor Tériade.
This is an original plate from the 1937 first edition, a cornerstone of modern publishing that brought together the greatest artists and photographers of the 20th century.
The work is framed in matte black lacquered wood with museum-quality materials. Frame shown is an example only—final custom framing will be done upon order.

1934 Remie Lohse Photograph for Vogue
By Remie Lohse
Located in New York, NY
Remie Lohse was born in Puerto Rico, studied painting in Denmark, and settled in New York in 1928, where he became a professional photographer. In the 1930s he was a freelancer who specialized in advertising and magazine features, and shot covers for Vogue. If he often focused on the high life, seen in this couple stepping out on the town, he also shot humble subjects. He was more interested in his art than a particular milieu, and many of his photographs are little masterpieces. His contemporary Gilbert Seldes, the noted Vanity Fair media critic and “public intellectual” (not to mention father of actress Marian Seldes), featured Lohse in his 1934 book 'This is New York, The First Modern Photographic Book of New York.' In 1939 Lohse came out with his own book titled 'The Miniature Camera in Professional Hands.'
Our photograph was one of three shot by Lohse for a 1934 Vogue article titled “High Spots and Low Music." If the photograph (image size 4 1/4" x 6") show a couple making the nocturnal rounds of Manhattan restaurants, bars, and jazz clubs, the story itself also covers the daytime meeting places of the ladies who lunch. The twist is that Lohse’s model was the author herself, Elena Mumm Thornton, and her husband James Worth...
