Maurice Thorez and Michel Cachin (both with walking sticks). Musée Fernand Léger, Foundation Stone Ceremony, Biot 24 Feb 1957.

Maurice Thorez, in a dark double-breasted coat, and Michel Cachin, in a bowler hat, are central figures at the foundation stone ceremony for the Musée Fernand Léger. Both men lean on walking sticks as a crowd gathers on the gravel ground in Biot on 24 February 1957. The corner of the large, rough-hewn cornerstone is visible in the foreground, awaiting its formal dedication.
