Charles de Gaulle 
Printed later on fiber-based paper
Edition 1/1
80 x 53 cm 
Black wooden frame, and mat. 
June 25, 1967. While on a state visit to Canada, Charles de Gaulle attends the 1967 World’s Fair. The previous evening, from his hotel balcony, the French president hurled a thundering “Vive le Québec libre” (Long Live a Free Quebec) to a crowd of 100,000 ecstatic Québécois. Four words that provoked the ire of Canadian authorities who accused their guest of meddling with their internal affairs. Three years later, it was this picture that would be selected to illustrate Paris Match’s memorial issue on the occasion of the death of the French leader.
