Ok, I admit they may never have had anyone ask for a poster of it before …

Where can I buy a poster of Robert Doisneau’s photo Un regard oblique?

Any number of places online will sell me his Baiser de l'hôtel de ville and a few more standards, but not this one.

Does it have to be online? I saw some poster shops in Paris with a large range of Doisneau images in various sizes, in particular one just opposite Les Halles. If you know someone in Paris, or who will be there for a trip, you could get them to pick one up for you.

Response by poster: jacalata, I do know someone in Paris, and she might be able to send it on, but I'm kind of shy about asking without an address at least (she’s an ex, she works in the suburbs, it’s the small things that make it awkward). And if I had an address I could probably call them and order it without too much trouble.

Response by poster: And that should have been Baiser de l’Hôtel de Ville, of course.

The place I remember is directly opposite the Forum des Halles at Porte Lescot, unfortunately I don't know (and can't google) an actual address or the name of the place. That might be enough information for her, although I appreciate the awkwardness :)

Response by poster: Yeah, you’re not the only one: Tu vas aux halles, tu as un grand marchand d'affiches rue Pierre Lescot. I can’t find it in the Pages Jaunes when I list everything on rue Pierre Lescot, though, but I’ll search a little further. Thank you for the pointer!

I hadn't thought of les pages janues: I checked google maps, remembering it was on a corner, and I'm pretty sure that it is the corner of rue de la cossonerie, and the pages jaunes gives me

Response by poster: Ah, excellent. They don’t list that photo as available on-line, but I’ll give them a call this afternoon and check if they nonetheless have it.
