JACQUES HENRI LARTIGUE became a star at the ripe old age of 69 when, in 1963, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) organised his first solo exhibition. Four decades later, the photographer's exuberant images of Belle Epoque France—society gatherings, car races, early aeroplanes, giant kites and his own eccentric family—are captivating audiences once more in a new show that has travelled to London's Hayward Gallery from the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
