The point about the print work sheets being more valuable than the finished prints is well taken. I neglected to mention one Cartier-Bresson print being sold there with an asking price of $75,000.00 It was a print Bresson didn't want and thought not to be good enough for exhibition. Accompanying the print was a quote from a letter about the print giving it to the individual to whom the letter was written and stating clearly Bresson's thought that it was not good enough for what he wanted. The print was Behind the Gare St. Lazare. Though I do my own printing, I couldn't tell an immediate difference between the inferior print and the adequate print 15 ft. away with a $5,000 price tag attached. I know, I've got a lot to learn.
