About the Item

An original silver gelatin black and white photography postcard by Albert Monier, Paris. Notre Dame Cathedral, circa 1950. Features: This original silver gelatin print photography postcard is unframed. Photographer: Albert Monier (1915 - 1998). Title: Paris, Notre Dame circa 1950. Provenance: Private collection. Image Size: 3.94 in wide (10.4 cm) x 4.72 in high (12.3 cm) - Archivally matted in a 17 in x 13 in mat. Postcard Size: 3.94 in wide (10.4 cm) x 5.51 in high (14.9 cm). Dry stamp on the image on the right. Credit and legend printed on the back: "330 - Paris - La Seine et la Fléche de Notre-Dame - Les Photographies Albert Monier".

Note: Albert Monier (1915-1998) worked outside the established world of commercial printing, creating his postcards on photographic paper in his lab. Using a small number of images, he gained a popular foothold in the postcard photography world, then dominated by Editions Yvon. Some of the most popular postcards of Paris during the 1950s and 1960s featured the black and white photography of Albert Monier. He had a specific empathy for the men of the working class and those even poorer, and when people do appear in his photography, they are more likely to be homeless or extremely poor than to be nattily dressed.
