Catalogue Note
Madame Hana Eliášová-Hausmanová (1930-2010) fit partie du cercle des amis proches de Josef Sudek à Prague à partir de 1952. Les lots 83 à 87 ont pour provenance sa collection personnelle de photographies de Sudek qui souvent lui dédicaçait les tirages.
Le tirage offꦿert ici prend son charme et sa qualité jꦅustement du fait qu'il soit «imparfait ». Tiré sur un papier fait main par Sudek, il s'agit probablement d'une épreuve d'essai.
