Gelatin silver print, printed in the 1970s on double-weight semi-matte paper 39 x 48.7 cm, in very good condition. Signed and dedicated to "P. Patrick, le Roi des toujours, et surtout un ami" by the photographer in black ink on the lower margin.

"This scene has been photographed in old Peking through the window of a shop in Liu Li Chang, the street long famous for its art and antique shops. The gold-lettered name of this shop means 'prosperity'. Private citizens come here to sell family jewels or other objects. The government fixes the prices. It is early summer and people live in the streets at this time. That's why you see women and old men and playing children, and in the crowded streets it is very difficult to take pictures without everybody looking at you." (Marc Riboud)

明胶银盐照片，1970年代印制，双重重量半哑光纸，39 x 48.7 厘米，状况非常好。摄影师在下边缘用黑色墨水签名并题献给“P. Patrick, le Roi des toujours, et surtout un ami”。“这幅场景是在老北京通过琉璃厂一家商店的窗户拍摄的，这条街因其艺术和古董商店而闻名。这家商店的金字招牌意思是‘繁荣’。私人市民来这里出售家庭珠宝或其他物品。政府固定价格。现在是初夏，人们在这个时候生活在街道上。这就是为什么你会看到女人、老人和玩耍的孩子们，在拥挤的街道上拍照非常困难，因为每个人都会看着你。”（马克·吕布）
