拍品專文

Horst recalls: 'It was the last photo I took in Paris before the war. I left the studio at 4:00 a.m., went back to the house, picked up my bags and caught the 7:00 a.m. train to Le Havre to board the Normandie. We all felt that war was coming...This photograph is peculiar -- for me, it is the essence of that moment. While I was taking it, I was thinking of all that I was leaving behind' (quoted in Lawford, p.185).
