"Model Surrounded by Gendarmes, Le Cadre Noir de Saumur, 1980" 16x20 Vintage Silver Gelatin Print by Helmut Newton

"Model with Gendarmes, Le Cadre Noir de Saumur, 1980" is a 16x20 vintage silver gelatin print from photo shoots captured at the famous French military equestrian training grounds.

This is a rare pre-1985 original vintage print produced in small numbers from a series of transparencies that Newton considered his most provocative and important work through 1985. Always unsigned, they were sent out to major publications to stimulate interest in a photographer's work. Most were destroyed or written over, it is very rare to find them in immaculate condition.
