France 1900

Between the Franco-Prussian War and WWI, France in the 1900s was a gilded moment of peace and prosperity. The authors Sabine Arqué and Marc Walter curate this collection of vintage photographs, postcards, posters, and photochromes. From the Paris World s Fair to the honey light of the Côte d Azur, it s a glimpse into an era of rose-tinted optimism. " The freshness of this ideal France bursts out in the naive colors of these photochromes, postcards and colorized photographs, which conjure up the atmosphere of the Belle Époque. " - Sabine Arqué
