36 black and white photographs of the Atelier Populaire at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts and scenes of the general strike and student uprisings in Paris, May 1968 by Marc Riboud, Philippe Vermès, and unidentified photographers
Box 1: 18 photographs printed in 8 x 10 inch format depicting multiple stages of poster production at the Atelier Populaire in the printmaking studios of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. 16 of the photographs were taken by Philippe Vermès and have his and his studio's ink stamps on the versos; many have annotations suggesting a 1998 printing date and linking them to the exhibition "Paris 1968: Posters from the Atelier Populaire", August 31-October 1, 1998 at Aronson Gallery, Parsons School of Design, New York, New York. The remaining two photographs in this group are inscribed on the versos "Philippe Vermès" and "Marc Riboud", and were likely printed circa 1968
Box 2: 18 photographs printed in 12 x 16 inch format, taken by an unidentified photographer or photographers. The photographs depict scenes from the Paris general strike, student uprisings, and street protests of May 1968, including police dressed in riot equipment, streets barricaded with burning cars, protesters wearing protection against tear gas and standing on street barricades, and student leader Daniel Cohn-Bendit addressing crowds with a megaphone
- Description

The Atelier Populaire ("Popular Workshop") was established in Paris in May 1968 by students from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts to support the ongoing protests and strikes then occuring in France. The members were students, faculty, workers, and artists who used the school's printmaking studios to anonymously produce lithographed and screen-printed political posters that were distributed for free.
Marc Riboud (1923-2016) was a French photojournalist.
Philippe Vermès (1942-) is a French photographer and one of the co-founders of the Atelier Populaire.
