An iconic Henri Cartier-Bresson photo


I had always thought this image of a boy with magnums of wine was from the time of WWII/French Occupation, but as I searched the web for info today, I find it listed as 'Rue Mouffetard, Paris' (1954).

More on Cartier-Bresson here and here. This image is at many locations on the web; I found it today at Vintage Photographs.

  1. Lovely! I have a postcard of this one on my study wall, next to one by Eva Rubinstein, also a photographer of note.
