Sothebys is auctioning this photo by one of the most famous French photographers of the nineteenth century, Adrien Tournachon. It’s called “Nadar: portrait of a cow” and dates from circa 1854. It should yield between 4,500 and 6,000 euros.
It looks like French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand (YAB for the initimi) found a lot of inspiration in the work of his predecessor:
HI, remember that “nadar” is not the name of the cow but the artist’s name of Tournachon who took pictures of XIX ° century famous peoples like Victor Hugo.
Sorry for my english.
OK, point taken – merci!
