Product description
Bastille Day seen from a window turns celebration into geometry: street, crowd, and city movement held at a thoughtful distance.
About vintage photography
Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have. Fine art photography values the photographer’s vision as much as the subject in front of the lens. The original dates from 1939. Many celebrated photographers printed their own work in the darkroom, treating each print as a finished artwork. Vintage photographs carry the grain, tone and atmosphere of their time. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time.
Styling this vintage photograph
Its black-and-white palette makes this vintage photograph easy to build a room around. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. In black and white, this vintage photograph works with any colour scheme; a slim black frame with a wide white mat gives it a gallery finish. For a gallery wall, pair this vintage photograph with two or three smaller black-and-white prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
