1900s - Paris Notre-Dame Panorama - Antique French Postcard - Vintage European Cityscape - Seine River View - Collectible Art

The sepia-toned photograph is centered around the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral, its intricate Gothic spires and flying buttresses dominating the skyline. Below, the River Seine gracefully winds through the scene, a slender barge navigating its waters. A multi-arched bridge, the Pont au Change, is visible, bustling with pedestrians and period vehicles, connecting the bustling city banks. The surrounding Haussmannian buildings with their characteristic zinc roofs and numerous chimneys complete the picturesque vista. In the distant background, the grand dome of the Panthéon proudly stands.

This well-preserved antique postcard, numbered 197 and captioned 'Paris – Panorama Du Quartier Notre-Dame' with the initials 'C. M.', beautifully illustrates the charm and grandeur of old Paris.
