Before the cars were auctioned in early 2015, French photographer Remi Dargegen took pictures of the incredible "Baillon Collection". When the photo sessions at Chateau Gaillard started, Remi Dargegen had not expected to find such a huge treasure trove of classic automobiles: "Unbelievable, just unbelievable. This place is unique. What is most impressive, is the sheer number of cars that were stored in the barns." That enthusiasm is reflected in his photographs, presented for the first time in this book: Baillon Collection. It is also the first publication of a "barnfind"; historically unique and outstanding in dimension.
This book, this photo essay is about that moment of discovery when you round a corner and have that mind-bending pinch me" dawning of the realization that something truly unusual is unfolding. SpeedReaders.info In Baillon Collection: A Sensational Barnfind, author Remi Dargegen evocatively documents how these cars, and many others were discovered on the grounds of the Baillon chateau (Chateau find?")stored in sheds, but frequently in makeshift and open wooden shelters, many of them unprotected so long from the elements that nature had begun to reclaim some of them. -- Benjamin Shahrabani Petrolicious.com, March 18, 2016
