HERGE AND ROGER FRISON-ROCHE - Lot 246
HERGE AND ROGER FRISON-ROCHE The creator of Tintin and the explorer… 1950s. Photo by Raoul Saguet, with stamps (including the photographer’s) and annotated on the back. 24 x 18 cm, including margins. Note: Taken in 1957, this photograph documents a mannequin workshop, offering a behind-the-scenes look at an activity essential to the worlds of fashion, retail, and advertising. At that time, window mannequins played a central role in product presentation and contributed to the aesthetic of department stores, boutiques, and trade shows. Their design required specific expertise combining sculpture, molding, painting, and assembly to create idealized figures reflecting the trends and aesthetic standards of the time. Rarely photographed, these workshops now serve as a valuable record of the history of the decorative arts and retail display techniques. Accompanied by press clippings and precisely dated, this vintage print offers a particularly fascinating documentary glimpse into a discreet yet ubiquitous profession within the visual culture of the 1950s.
