Literature:

In the 1970s he offered a bookseller several boxes of his prints and contact sheets for sale, claiming the glass negatives had been destroyed to prevent further reproductions. The boxes, however, remained in obscurity until they were rediscovered by the writer and historian Alexandere Dupouy. He managed to track down the photographer who inisisted on his anonymity until his death in the 1980s. – Corners minimally bumped, light crease mark in lower left corner, otherwise in excellent condition.
