Maurice BONNEL (1923–2019) Carders, Banks of the Seine, Quai des Orfèvres, Paris, 1954 Silver gelatin print 40 x 30 cm Note: Taken in 1954 on the banks of the Seine, Quai des Orfèvres in Paris, this photograph by Maurice Bonnel captures a trade that has since disappeared from the urban landscape. The carders, responsible for processing and cleaning the wool mats, represent a humble craft that was nonetheless essential to daily life at the time. Through his attentive gaze on the gestures of labor and scenes of everyday life, the artist offers a valuable testimony to 1950s Paris, in the spirit of French humanist photography.
