Photograph, Paris, May 1968: Hitler hides behind mask of Charles de Gaulle.
-
A large (40 cm x 29.5cm) black and white silver print / silver gelatin photograph of a Paris wall in May 1968. The photograph shows a poster of Hitler hiding behind a mask of Charles de Gaulle. He is wearing the Cross of Lorraine as his armband. (The Free French forces in world war 2, under de Gaulle, had used this symbol). This is pinned over a background which states "CRS SS" multiple times. The CRS (compagnies républicaines de sécurité) was the National Reserve Force to deal with strikes and demonstrations. In fact this slogan dates back to 1948 when the CRS was first formed. The wall also shows a hand written sign for a manifestation in the evening of the 19th at St Lazare. Public demonstrations were often (and are still often) held in the space in front of the St Lazare station. This is almost certainly a large print of a reportage / press photograph of the time. In red ink to the reverse is written "68." The central poster was used in the 1968 student riots, and although we have been unable to trace this photograph, there is an "internet ghost" of it, which states it was taken in May 1968. Condition is excellent, with no significant marks or dirt to it. .
