191678127Paris 1916. Fine. Paris 12 août 1916 6.30 x 8.60 cm une feuille Original photograph likely unique taken by Jean Cocteau showing Pablo Picasso and Co in Montparnasse in front of the café La Rotonde the 12 August 1916 Paris 12 august 1916 63 x 86 cm one photograph Original photograph by Jean Cocteau taken on 12 August 1916 showing Manuel Ortiz de Zárate Moïse Kisling Max Jacob Pablo Picasso and the model Pâquerette his girlfriend at the time posing in front of the famous café La Rotonde on Boulevard du Montparnasse in Paris. Contemporary silver print probably unique from Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection. This image was published in Billy Klüver's book entitled A day with Picasso: twenty-four photographs by Jean Cocteau 1997. However Klüver states that he didn't know the original photograph and used a modern reprint from the negative in the Cocteau archives for his work. We have not found any other copy of our original photograph in international public collections. Billy Klüver has assembled and commented on the twenty-one photographs taken by Jean Cocteau on 12 August 1916 in Montparnasse close to this intersection of the Boulevard Raspail and the Boulevard du Montparnasse which was named Place Pablo-Picasso in 1994. They take us to the café La Rotonde before which a beaming Picasso in a cap speaks with Max Jacob whose baldness shines in the sun behind them Henri-Pierre Roché in uniform and Manuel Ortiz de Zarate sit at a table on the terrace of the same café where Pablo is next to the glowing Pâquerette and the young Polish painter Moïse Kisling. Pâquerette with her hair in a headband a chic dress is the queen of the encounter. . It's the relaxed life at the back. Pâquerette or rather Émilienne Pâquerette Geslot was then a star model of the fashion designer Poiret who was all the rage at the time. A real one-day film of Picasso outside of his studio. Pierre Daix Picasso In his book Klüver questions the presence of all these artistic authorities in the making in a Paris that is deserted by war. The answer is according to him to search in the direction of the Salon d'Antin an exhibition organized by André Salmon in July 1916 in which all the protagonists of our photograph took part with the exception of Pâquerette. It is also on this occasion that Picasso reveals his Demoiselles d'Avignon to the public. This extremely rare image taken by Jean Cocteau with his mother's Kodak camera immortalizes a moment of joy that depicts the artistic all-Montparnasse of the early 20th century. Provenance: Jean Cocteau's personal archives then the Maurice Sachs collection and Max-Philippe Delatte. unknown

Cassinelli occupied our house located in Pera Rue Hodja Ali No 19. On December 1 1887 and left him on September 30 1899. That during all time he did not pay me the tax. P. pon de la succession de feu le Comte A. de Camondo. i.e. On behalf of the succession of Count Abraham Salomon Camondo 1781-1873. Probably it's signed by his advocate of Moise de Camondo. Recipient is not defined. Letter indicates one of Camondo family's houses in Pera Constantinople. 265x21 cm. Completely in French. 14 lines. On a paper watermarked "William Brown & Co. London". William Brown and Co. were located in London in this 'St. Mary Axe and 40 to 41 Old Broad Street London E.C.' address according to Grace's guide to British industrial industry; they worked on 'Lithographic and Letterpress Printers'. 1887 Registered as a Limited Company. Count Moïse de Camondo 1860-1935 was an Ottoman Empire-born French banker and art collector. He was a member of the prominent Camondo family. As a child Camondo moved with his family from their home in Constantinople Ottoman Empire to Paris around 1869 where he grew up and continued the career of his father Nissim de Camondo 1830-1889 as a banker. He was born into a Sephardic Jewish family that owned one of the largest banks in the Ottoman Empire established in France since 1869. Starting in 1911 he completely rebuilt the family's Parisian mansion on the Parc Monceau in order to house his collection of 18th-century French furniture and artwork. Working closely with the architect René Sergent he created a palatial home conforming to certain 18th-century traditions even planning the room dimensions to match exactly the objects in his collection. The entryway is inspired by the Petit Trianon of Versailles. The home includes a kosher kitchen with separate sections for meat and dairy. The dining room includes a beautifully-carved green marble fountain in the shape of a shell with a dolphin spigot for the ritual washing of hands before eating a meal. Some highlights of his collection include a French silver service that had been ordered by Russian Empress Catherine the Great a set of Buffon porcelain with exact reproductions of ornithological drawings from the Sèvres manufacturer and perhaps the only existing complete set of Gobelin royal tapestry sketches. He married Irène Cahen d'Anvers daughter of Louis Cahen d'Anvers in 1891. They separated in August 1897 after her affair with de Camondo's stable master Count Charles Sampieri whom she would later marry and divorce. The children Nissim and Beatrice remained with de Camondo. The mansion was completed in 1914 but his son did not reside there very long as he rejoined the French Army to fight in The Great War. It had been de Camondo's great hope that his son whom he adored would take over the family empire. Following Nissim's death in 1917 de Camondo closed all banking activities. He largely withdrew from society and devoted himself primarily to his collection and to hosting dinners for a club of gourmets at regular intervals. Camondo died in 1935 and the museum opened the following year. He donated the home to Paris's Decorative Arts society as a museum Musée Nissim de Camondo in honor of the loss of his son Nissim in World War I. In addition to the collection the meticulously-restored service areas elevator and woodwork of the mansion are noteworthy. During the German occupation of France during World War II his daughter Béatrice his son-of-law Léon Reinach and their children Fanny and Bertrand were deported from France and died in the Auschwitz concentration camp. As a result the de Camondo family died out. <br/> <br/> I. Camondo & Cie, Constantinople Letterhead., 17 Janvier 1901 unknown

"One of the most acclaimed books of our time winner of both the Pulitzer and the Francis Parkman prizes The Power Broker tells the hidden story behind the shaping and mis-shaping of twentieth-century New York city and state and makes public what few have known: that Robert Moses was for almost half a century the single most powerful man of our time in New York the shaper not only of the city's politics but of its physical structure and the problems of urban decline that plague us today." Publisher "The book focuses on the creation and use of power in local and state politics as witnessed through Moses' use of unelected positions to design and implement dozens of highways and bridges sometimes at great cost to the communities he nominally served. It has been repeatedly named one of the best biographies of the 20th century and has been highly influential on city planners and politicians throughout the United States." Wikepedia paperback
