CONTACT THE PUBLISHER!! Dan, I STRONGLY encourage you to contact the publishers of the magazine and see if you can get an original copy of the photo. These photos are more often than not archived in magazine and newspaper's vaults and can be had for the asking or for a small fee. Moreover, ALL photos taken by a photographer, to include those not selected for publication, may be available. You may discover that photographs of the entire chateau are available.

[@msantello1]

Maybe one of the million eye-balls could do it for him? He's up to his own eye balls in arch building and floor installations. Surely someone that watches ETRF has the chops to do as you suggest and run down a better copy or more photos?

[@silvialeprattomazza6214]

The magazine may have the notes from the writer of the article. If anyone knows anyone from MATCH, they can also help. The rebuilding of the chateaus, in itself, is worth an updated story in the present.

Unfortunately the magazine article is over 50 years old. I wonder if France has anything equivalent to the US Library of Congress...
