The project was to photograph a different area of his native country, France, each year in black & white film. The regions were Bordeaux, Burgundy, Provence, Loire Atlantique, Dordogne, Normandy and Paris. Upon return to San Francisco, a selection of 12 images was chosen. They were then printed in Cibachrome which allowed the photo lab to print a reversal image in one color. This work was very well received by the galleries, and the public at large, and only a few prints remain of the edition of 10 prints and 1 artist proof. This particular image is print #2 out of 10, there are only 3 additional print left #3/10, #4/10 & #5/10. There will be no more printing once the edition is completely sold. This 4 5/8" by 4 5/8 "print is signed, dated and numbered in pencil on the reverse of the print and also on the museum mat board.

Jacques Cressaty, the recipient of several awards has his work in various collections and in the Bibliotheque de France in Paris.
