Is it just me or the "dame pipi" is the same woman in every European place and in every century? Maybe they cloned the original one multiple times?
Un bonimenteur. "Look, these pens are magics, i will show you, you need it! If you buy 5 of them, i will give you 5 of them, awesome deal available just for the next 30 minutes!"
I don't get why include a title from a porn movie in this wonderful picture? Yes i'm joking. "La grande gorge" means "the deep throat" but also means "the big canyon".
Oo, they had the same people in an earlier photo! I think it was the same photo actually. A photo so nice, the listed it twice :)
These are museum worthy, and I really hope get published in book form. No need for captions on any. They are so evocative and each tells a story.
I really like them too, but captions help a lot for people born too far away. I'm 55 and enjoy the context of them.
