Silver photography - Banks of the Cher in Tours – Sylvain Knecht, 1967

Rare period photograph taken in 1967 by Sylvain Knecht, a professional photographer based in Tours, known for his work in reportage and advertising photography. This is a genuine original black and white silver print, depicting the banks of the Cher in Tours at the time of their urban transformation. The work reflects a modernist aesthetic typical of the 1960s, with a strong composition highlighting the brutalist architectural lines and the urban atmosphere of the era. This exceptional piece, in monumental format (109 X 300 cm), is mounted on a rigid panel and ready to be hung. It is hand-signed by the artist and still bears its original workshop label on the back, ensuring its authenticity. As both a photographic work and a strong decorative element, this photograph will fit perfectly in a loft, a contemporary interior, an industrial space, a gallery, or an urban and vintage art collection. Condition: good overall condition for its age. Please note that part of the photographic paper has come away from the panel in the lower right corner (visible in the photos). Some signs of age and wear consistent with the work's antiquity are also present. Dimensions: • Height: 109 cm. • Length: 300 cm.
