INFORMATION: This photograph comes from Paul Eluard's personal collection. Professor Jacques Millot details the provenance and origin of these prints: "from the library of Éluard, to whom these photographs probably served as inspiration for the composition of his poems. No. 458 from the Swiss sale of 13/14 May 1958... This is probably also an early draft illustration, smaller than the one published [in the original 1937 edition]".
This photograph bears on the reverse the stamp "Man Ray, 8 rue du Val de Grâce, Paris 5e, France, Danton 92-25" (stamp used between 1929 and 1940)
