COUPLE ON THE BANKS OF THE MARNE - Lot 10
COUPLE ON THE BANKS OF THE MARNE Jany Holt and Albert Préjean during the filming of Pierre Chenal’s movie “L’Alibi” in Trilport (Seine-et-Marne), 1937 Photo attributed to Roger Corbeau (no photographer credit), vintage silver gelatin print on card stock, stamped and annotated on the back 23.8 x 30 cm Some signs of handling, visible mainly when held up to the light Note: This vintage silver gelatin print captures Jany Holt and Albert Préjean during the filming of *L'Alibi* on the banks of the Marne in Trilport. In a tight, light-drenched frame, the two actors appear in a moment of suspended calm, their faces turned toward the horizon. The delicacy of the black-and-white imagery, the gentleness of their expressions, and the elegance of the composition convey the full aesthetic refinement of 1930s French cinema, where romanticism and photogenic appeal come together with great subtlety. Attributed to Roger Corbeau, a leading figure in French film photography, this print on card stock is a precious testament to the golden age of French film studios. Preserved with its original stamp and annotations on the back, it possesses all the documentary value sought after by collectors. Despite a few slight signs of handling visible mainly when held up to the light, this print retains remarkable visual quality and will appeal to enthusiasts of set photography, classic French cinema, and the great figures of the silver screen.
