"This significant collection of photographs comes from the family of René-Jacques and showcases a French photographer with a diverse range of activities: advertising, books, journalism, photojournalism, industrial photography, and architectural and graphic documentation.
In the June 1958 issue of *Images du Monde*, journalist Albert Plécy wrote an article about René-Jacques, explaining, ‘… His ambition is for each of his photos to immediately transport you to a specific region and atmosphere. The subject is you, the reader….’
René-Jacques (René Giton, as he was known) was born on May 29, 1908, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. He began photography as a knowledgeable amateur while pursuing his studies and traveling between France and Indochina. His first “recognized” works date from 1926–28. In 1932, he adopted the name René-Jacques and dropped out of law school in 1933 to devote himself professionally to his passion. In 1934, he held his first solo exhibition in the lobby of the Parisian movie theater “Studio 28.” Around 1938–39, he turned to film, working as a set photographer for the movie “Remorques,” directed by Jean Grémillon and starring Jean Gabin. In 1943, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France purchased some of his photographs. He became the founding president of the National Association of Advertising and Fashion Photographers (ANPPM) in 1945. In 1946, he became a co-founder of the Groupe des XV, a group of photographers that included Robert Doisneau and Willy Ronis. In 1947, René-Jacques opened his own studio in Paris and devoted himself to advertising photography and industrial photography.
As a reporter and illustrator, he took the photographs for Francis Carco’s book *Envoûtement de Paris*, published by Grasset in 1939. He went on to work on other books: *Trésors Méconnus de Paris* by René Héron de Villefosse, *La Mer est un Pays Secret* by Edouard Pesions (Grasset), and *Les Olympiques* by Henri Montherlant. He also created “photographic albums”: *La Seine à Paris* (Calmann-Lévy), *Images de la Seine au cours des quatre saisons* (a limited edition of 900 copies), *Chefs d’oeuvres de Rodin* (Les Publications Techniques et Artistiques), *Promenades in Paris* by A. Maneby (Calmann-Lévy), and *Paris Through the Centuries* by Philippe Lefrançois (Calmann-Lévy). He also contributed to various French journals and some foreign magazines.
In the 1950s, a journalist from *Photo-Monde*, P. Sonthonnax, noted that “René-Jacques spends hours in his darkroom getting the most out of a negative, and it is only after dozens of large-format enlargements that he considers himself more or less satisfied and stops the process to obtain the specified number of final prints (…) He uses a view camera for posed photos whenever possible, and a 24 x 36 camera for candid shots whenever necessary (…)”.
He exhibited at various venues (such as Arles in 1954, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in 1957, and the Galerie Montalembert in Paris in 1958) and was named a Knight of the Legion of Honor. He died on July 6, 2003, in Tory at the age of 95."

Ordres d'achat - Enchères téléphoniques
Les commissaires-priseurs et les experts se chargent d’exécuter, gracieusement, les ordres d’achat qui leur seront confiés, notamment par les amateurs ne pouvant assister à la vente.
Toute personne souhaitant intervenir téléphoniquement devra en faire la demande par écrit, accompagnée d’un relevé d’identité bancaire, au plus tard la veille de la vente.
L’expérience démontrant qu’à de nombreuses reprises les communications téléphoniques ne sont pas toujours possibles lors du passage des lots, toute demande d’enchère téléphonique présuppose UN ORDRE D’ACHAT A L’ESTIMATION BASSE PLUS UNE ENCHÈRE, au cas où la communication est impossible pour quelque cause que ce soit. Drouot-Estimations ne peut être tenu responsable pour avoir manqué d’exécuter un ordre.
