About the Item

This is a black-and-white photograph of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, taken in 1952. The image shows the monumental arch, a symbol of French national pride and history, located at the Place Charles de Gaulle (formerly Place de l'Étoile). The arch features intricate carvings and bas-reliefs on its facade, depicting historical and allegorical scenes. Vintage cars are visible on the street around the monument, providing a sense of the era. Trees and buildings in the background suggest a typical Parisian urban setting. The overall composition highlights the grandeur of the architecture and the nostalgic atmosphere of post-war Paris.
