Lauros-Giraudon

Paris-based photography agency / collection, specialised in reproduction of paintings often used as illustration for classical music releases. Lauros-Giraudon is likely the successor of Giraudon Paris after it's been bought out by French publisher Larousse in 1953. Lauros-Giraudon is not a photographer but an agency who owned and managed a photography collection. Photo / foto / ekta are not part of the name but shorthand for "photography provided by / courtesy of / copyright" Lauros-Giraudon. (Also credited as Giraudon Paris)
