Original photograph of Andre Gide and Andre Malraux at a 1936 antifascist meeting in Paris

  • Paris: N.p., 1936
By Andre Malraux, Andre Gide (subjects); David Seymour (photographer)
Paris: N.p., 1936. Vintage borderless photograph from an antifascist meeting in Paris in 1936, showing novelist Andre Malraux speaking into a microphone, with novelist Andre Gide seated at a table next to him. Stamp of Magnum Photos photographer David "Chim" Seymour on the verso.

Likely a photograph from a meeting of the Popular Front, a French alliance of various left-wing movements, including communists and socialists, during the interwar period.

As Magnum Photos was not formed until 1947, it is likely photographer David "Chim" Seymour added the stamp at a later date to a print in his collection. Magnum, which included early members like Robert Capa, Maria Eisner, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, was created as an international cooperative, one of the first of its kind.

10 x 6.5 inches. Very Good condition, with some professional restoration.
