He remained there working for fifteen years until he was deported to Auschwitz during World War II.]After 1908 René Moreau seems to abandon this activity (and his partner...who will continue until 1924 in Paris), and emigrate to more distant horizons (in Japan), where he is found as a photographer on behalf of Studio Tronchet (5 Rue Tronchet in Paris)A René Moreau (but is it the same photographer or a simple namesake?) is also known for his photographs on Colonial Africa in the 1930s ("Missions Jean d'Esme", often reproduced in the form of postcards, or illustrating Jean d'Esme's numerous books) - We sell here[JAPAN]Rare CPAColorized(14)Printed in Japan- 1912Format: PostcardColorized print Beautiful period document, good condition, clean, various usual frictions on edges or corners,stamped with Yokohama 1912 postmark on the front, blank back cf. visuals (same source as the photos of René Moreau for sale on ebay)Rare document, photographer's personal copy Related keywords postcard postcard japan art postcard rene moreau rene moreau postcard japan rene moreau postcard rene moreau japan Provided by
