An exceptional lot of two (2) rare original, unpublishedJames Baldwin (1924–1987) photographs at his famous home in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France, circa 1986. Both photographs originate directly from the archives of poet and photographerShawn Henderson, who lived at the estate with Baldwin during 1985–1986 as a personal assistant and close companion.

Lot Includes:

James Baldwin & Jeanne Faure Photo: A candid snapshot showing Baldwin relaxing outdoors with his long-time landlady and close friend, Jeanne Faure. Faure, a French-Algerian estate owner, rented space to Baldwin in 1970. Over 17 years, the two formed a legendary bond—so close that Baldwin brought Faure as his personal guest of honor to Paris when he received the Légion d\'Honneur from President François Mitterrand in 1986.

Color Exterior View of \"Chez Baldwin\": This rare color photograph captures an elevated view of Baldwin’s historic 18th-century Provençal stone house and terracotta roof, overlooking the rolling countryside of Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Provenance: Sourced directly from the Shawn Henderson archives. Henderson’s private snapshots offer an intimate, behind-the-scenes record of Baldwin’s final years in exile in Southern France.

6\" x 4\" Color & 5\" x 3.5\" B/W photographs are in excellent condition
