The Kiss

Could this be anywhere else but Paris.

The Kiss by Robert Doisneau

Taken in 1986 it captures the timeless romance of the city. The young woman in question is Françoise Bornet who was sent the photograph by the photographer Robert Doisneau several days after it was taken as part of a series for Life magazine. At first it was thought that the picture was unposed, but it was later revealed that Bornet and Carteaud were asked to kiss for the camera. Doisnea had seen them kissing in a café and he asked them to pose kissing.

If you are so inclined you can possess it. Ms Bornet is putting it up for sale in Paris soon.

Taken in 1986? Some kind of joke, no?

Yes, it looks more like 1968, a typo in the original article perhaps.
