The cathedral, dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is considered one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture. Several of its attributes set it apart from the earlier Romanesque style, particularly its pioneering use of the rib vault and flying buttress, its enormous and colourful rose windows, and the naturalism and abundance of its sculptural decoration. Notre Dame also stands out for its musical components, notably its three pipe organs (one of which is historic) and its immense church bells. Despite persistent delays and debates, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris is scheduled to reopen to the public by 2024five years after a devastating fire ripped through the iconic Paris landmark, collapsing its roof and toppling its iconic spire. *Would make an Amazing Unique Vintage gift framed up nicely!**** Like almost everything else today, the humble postcard isnt what it used to be. In early 20th-century Paris, for instance, a photographer known as Yvon, born Pierre Yves Petit, turned out simple postcards with scenic views of his city that today class him as a trueflneurdentre-guerreParisalong withEugne Atget,BrassaandAndr Kertsz. Yvon launched his postcard business in order to take advantage of the increasing tourism in Paris, operatingditions dart dYvonfrom his familys apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He included his signature on his postcards, reflecting an early understanding of brand marketing. And he took his pictures early or late in the day when the sky was at its most dramatic, and his scenes would convey romantic, melancholic and even playful moods. In many of Yvons images it is not uncommon to see landmarks such as Sacr Coeur or the Louvre looming in the background while life, often blurred, passes in the foreground. His postcards serve as mementos not only of the citys buildings, gardens and monuments, but also of Paris celebrated street life Dimensions:Please see photos Condition:Great - The photos are of the Actual item so please study carefully before buying and if you have any questions it's easier for both yourself and me if you please ask before receiving the item & having to return it Further Information: ITEMS COME FROM A SMOKE AND PET FREE HOME I am always happy to offer more information if needed please just ask and I will try my best to help.
