[Photographs] Raymond Cartier, renowned reporter and leading figure at Paris-Match A collection of over 100 silver-based prints, in various formats, mostly in black and white, and 4 contact sheets and strips of film depicting: - Various portraits of Raymond Cartier, notably at his desk or in his library, taken by Paris-Match photojournalists between 1963 and 1975, including photographs by: Walter Carone, the founding figurehead of photography at Match (6 photos); Willy Rizzo, the glamour photographer and designer (4 prints); François Gragnon, the eye of the 1960s stars; Patrice Habans, the television and Beatles photographer (prints dated 16 February 1971 on the set of the political programme ‘A Armes égales’, in which Cartier debated Robert Buron—a former Gaullist minister who had become a fervent advocate for the development of poor countries—on the theme ‘Algeria, France and the Third World’); Nick de Morgoli in New York, the portraitist of the intelligentsia; Jean-Claude Deutsch, the editorial team’s historian; Michel Le Tac (5 photos) and Richard Jeannelle, the talented young guard of the 1970s; etc. - Editorial team meeting at Paris-Match, 25 November 1968 (photographs by Jean-Claude Deutsch) - Two group shots of the team at the RTL radio station, which was part of the powerful Jean Prouvost media group (Paris-Match, Marie-Claire, Télé 7 Jours) Between 1965 and 1975, Raymond Cartier spent the final decade of his life at the height of his fame and influence at *Paris-Match*. He was no longer merely a leading reporter there: he was the magazine’s intellectual leader, the face of international politics and its guiding voice. He covered and analysed the decade’s major events for *Match*’s readers: the 1965 French presidential election, the Vietnam War, the Six-Day War (1967) and the post-May ’68 currency crisis. As illustrated by the photographs taken by Jean-Claude Deutsch and Willy Rizzo in November 1968, he chaired editorial meetings and shaped the magazine’s editorial line. His writing for *Match* was complemented by regular appearances on RTL radio (also owned by the Jean Prouvost group), making him one of France’s most influential political commentators. He continued to write his editorials and columns on international politics for *Paris Match* almost until the very end, Raymond Cartier passed away in February 1975 at the age of 71, symbolically marking the end of an era for *Paris Match* – that of the great, all-powerful post-war editorialists.
