Description
I love this charming vintage scene of Paris. It makes me want to pack my bags & travel back in time. The scene is the Place Vendome right in the heart of Paris. The photograph was taken just after the turn of the last cedntury. You can see all the Model T style automobiles making their way around the square. Tres Jolie! The original Vendôme Column at the center of the square was erected by Napoleon I to commemorate the battle of Austerlitz; it was torn down on 16 May 1871, by decree of the Paris Commune, but subsequently re-erected & remains a prominent feature on the square today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_Vend%C3%B4me This would make a great edition to your Paris collection or a fun altered art project.
