Boissinot-Tailliez will auction 55 early Doisneau prints on March 11th. According to the auctioneer's catalogue, the lots presented are all postwar silver prints. The size formats are 7 x 9-1/2 in and 9-1/2 x 12 in. or the reverse. Most lots are stamped either in red or purple ink and numbered in pencil by the artist, following his system of negative order.

Collectors reviewing this auction will find vintage or early prints of some celebrated portraits and images, including Coco, Tati, L’Enfer, The Bride, The Brothers, The Twins and The Butchers, together with little known variants or completely unpublished photographs. The provenance is known, two people who were friends of Robert Doisneau in the 1950s and 1960s.

Besides the Doisneau prints there are three 1960s prints of earlier images of Picasso by Brassai, as well as a nice selection of photo books, including many of the early classics by Doisneau.
