I went to the website of Bibliothèque nationale de France Département de la Reproduction and purchased a copy! Will be on my wall soon.

Interesting, Eugene Vées seems to have changed guitar during the gig. Or maybe Django broke a few strings, took over rhythm players guitar so he had to bring out a spare?

Spectacular photos, thanks Mitch! Do you have any info about where they were discovered?

most excellent find @Mitch

Michael S Harrington

Incredible. Thanks!

Mitch

Amazing indeed!! What a scenography! Wil, I edited the article : it appears the Library acquired the J.C. Mehu collection. I don't know yet who is this guy.

Lewis I didn't even know we could order copies, thanks for the tip!

Good point Matteo, it could totally be a string issue indeed...

@Mitch Once you click on an image, on the left side you will see a bunch of options, including an icon that looks like a shopping cart. It says "Acheter une reproduction" and you could choose a physical copy (~A4 size) or a high-resolution jpeg file. 25 euros per image (for personal use. For commercial use it would cost more).
