It is interesting to notice that the Montmartre basilica is not pictured there (it was completed in 1914). The photo of the Eiffel tower shows a ferris wheel that was built in 1900.
There are no cars visible on the road but only horses and carriages. These are very good ways to date this booklet! The photographs have been taken between 1900 and 1910.

Signs of age and wear. The cover has been scratched and the edge of the spine has some tears.
Marbled end papers and the paper block had gold edging originally but is only visible on the top edge now.
The paper has browned very slightly. Occasional spot or fault.
This is a beautiful book for any Paris lover!

23 x 15 x 1.6 cm / 9.25 x 6 x 0.7"
