Philippe Garner, Deputy Chairman and auctioneer, Photographs Department

We had a lively sale with strong international interest.  Bidders were evidently attracted by the engaging and frequently iconic images selected by James Danziger.  The top three prices reflect the exciting diversity of the material on offer. We look forward to our next sale in Paris on 30 June.
