Mounted on card, with Pierre Petit’s signature in the lower margin and his studio advertisement on the verso.
Original photo from Christopher Street Liberation Day March, New York - "Master and Slave""On June 28, 1970, I attended the first New York Gay Pride March. The date marks the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which launched the LGBTQ+ liberation movement in the U.S. We left from Christopher Street, a gay cultural mecca in Greenwich Village, and walked up 6th Avenue to Central Park. To end the day, a kissing contest was held in the middle of the park! It was a great moment of joy, love and freedom. This couple, who kissed for hours under an umbrella, obviously didn't care about photographers" (Interview with Clément Thierry, 2021)

Original photograph mounted on rigid cardboard, showing Fernand Destouches, father of writer Louis-Ferdinand Céline (top right) posing alongside his brothers René, Georges and Charles - from top to bottom and left to right.
Edges of the rigid cardboard slightly bumped.
This portrait of the four Destouches brothers in uniform with laurel collar, dates from their happy schoolboy years at the Le Havre lyceum. The photograph, a true incarnation of a carefree and bygone past, must undoubtedly have held importance in the eyes of the four brothers, who would reproduce as adults the exact pose of this childhood portrait for a second, family portrait, preserved in the collection of François Gibault (Anton, Sonia, « Louis-Ferdinand Céline, d'un Havre à l'autre : entre autofiction, transposition et imaginaire », Le Territoire littéraire du Havre dans la première moitié du XXè siècle, 2013, fig. 20, photograph taken around 1905).
Our photograph is reproduced on page 11 of the Album Céline (Gallimard, 1977).
