About sixty photographs by Roger Schall will be presented at the auction organized by Liberté Enchères and the expert Charlotte Barthélemy.
Taken by this photo-reporter of the 1930s and 40s, the photographs offer a true panorama of the effervescence of this period: the building site of Normandy and its inaugural voyage, fashion, summers in Deauville, the Liberation of Paris, shopping, etc.

A plunge into the photographer's archives brought to light these unpublished images that we find, today in the 21st century, borrowed from modernity. Roger Schall knew how to combine the dynamism of the framing and the tenderness of the gaze on his subjects.

Roger Schall's photographs offered for sale are baryt silver prints made from the original negatives under the control of the rights holders and authenticated by Roger Schall's dry stamp.
