Gainsbourg & Birkin Press Photo
Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin were the most provocative couple in French cultural history, and this original black-and-white press photo captures them together on the set of Cannabis, the 1970 film they made at the height of their relationship. Pulled from the archives of a major French newspaper, it's a true period original, not a reproduction, measuring approximately 8 by 12 inches and in good condition. Carries traces of the working life of a press image, with hand retouching directly on the print or cutting and insertion instructions added by editors before it ran. Gainsbourg and Birkin's partnership produced some of the most enduring work in French pop history, from Je t'aime... moi non plus to Histoire de Melody Nelson.
