LANDRU AFFAIR - Lot 196
LANDRU AFFAIR
Reunion of 10 vintage silver prints, dated between 1919 and 1920, forming a press kit about the Landru affair.
Of particular note is a large print showing the search for the victim's bones in a river during the investigation. Indeed, photography during the search was forbidden. This is a rare photograph.
Henri Désiré Landru, born April 12, 1869 in Paris, was a famous French criminal. He was nicknamed "the Bluebeard of Gambais" after murdering 11 women seduced by matrimonial ads between 1914 and 1919. He was sentenced to death after an exceptional trial in 1922.
