[DEBORD, Guy, BECKER-HO, Alice]. [Original photograph of Guy Debord and Alice Becker-Ho]. 24 x 31 cm.; black & white photograph on Agfa stock. [August 1968] This photograph was taken by Marianne Ivsic (a piece of her jacket can be seen on the left-hand side, near Guy Debord) in the Vosges. A reader also alerted us that a different framing of this photograph is reproduced in “Panégyrique, tome second”, and described as “L’Oltrarno en 1972”.
[BECKER-HO, Alice]. [Original photograph of Alice Becker-Ho alone]. 14.5 x 10 cm.; black & white photograph on Agfa stock. [ca. 1973].

[DEBORD, Guy, BECKER-HO, Alice]. [Original photograph of Guy Debord, Alice Becker-Ho, and Connie]. 14.5 x 10 cm.; black & white photograph on Agfa stock. 1972.
A reader kindly informs us:
“The trio of photos of Guy and Alice and, as you identify, Francoise Zylberberg, are all from Gianfranco Sanguinetti’s archive at the Beinecke Library, and were all taken in Florence in 1972. The first is taken inside a trattoria in San Frediano, and in the one on the bridge Gianfranco says the woman in the shawl is Connie. The bridge is the Ponte Santa Trinita which leads into the Oltrano in a fairly straight line to the via delle Caldaie, and is the bridge Celeste would cross each night as mentioned in Panegyric“
[BECKER-HO, Alice]. [COPY of a photograph of Alice Becker-Ho as a baby]. 21 x 27 cm.; black & white photograph on Agfa stock. Date unknown [ca. 1942-43]
These photographs were found amidst a small set of letters and postcards mailed by Debord & Becker-Ho to Francoise Zylberberg from Florence. Therefore, it is possible (though not confirmed), these photographs (aside from Becker’s baby picture) were taken there. As usual, any insights from our readers are most welcome
Francoise Zylberberg (1944-2010) was a close collaborator of Rene Vienet and a friend of Debord through the 1970s. She came to Taiwan as an exchange scholar in 1979, teaching at the National Taiwan University’s Department of Foreign Languages. She would ultimately settle a Taiwan and become a citizen. Zylberberg went to open Taiwan’s only French-language bookstore in 1999. She passed away in 2010.

Bonjour
La 1ère photo date de aout 1968 , prise dans les Vosges , en compagnie de Marianne Ivsic ( dont on apercoit un bout de son manteau juste à coté de G.Debord.)
Cordialement

Merci! Je met cela a jour. J’ai retrouve la photographie (different cadrage) dans Une saison avec Marianne.
Il y a une photographie de “Guy Debord à Florence, 1972”, mal reproduite dans le portfolio édité par le ministère des Affaires étrangères avec les texte de Kaufmann. Cette photo a été prise au même endroit et sans doute le même jour que celle avec Fraçoise Zylberberg.
Merci pour cela. Oui, je l’ai retrouve dans le portfolio de Kaufmann! Merci pour ces precisions
J’ai enfin retrouvé où j’avais vu cette photographie mieux reproduite que dans le portfolio : c’est dans “Panégyrique, tome second”. La légende est : “L’Oltrarno en 1972”.
