We will ship this piece in a mat (17 x 13 in) that fits a standard-sized frame. No caption, and no credit. Note: Scrap Metal Fair and Ham Fair (Foire a la Ferraille et Foire au Jambon) After being successively located on the Ile de la Cité, then Quai des Grands-Augustins, Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Martin, and finally Boulevard Bourdon, the Ham Fair was transferred in 1869 by order of police, Boulevard Richard-Lenoir between Bastille and Boulevard Voltaire where it will occupy the central platform. Very early on, these food traders were joined by the flea market and antique and scrap metal dealers. The flea market, which took place until 1940 from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, took, after the Second World War, the rhythm of twice a year, in spring and autumn. It became known as the Foire a la Ferraille - Foire au Jambon. In 1969, the Paris Police Prefecture moved the Fair to the Beaubourg Plateau, and in February 1970, the Paris Prefect transferred it outside of Paris to Chatou. In memory of the time when it was located in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, the alleys of the Chatou fair were named after the names of streets and monuments of the 11th arrondissement: Boulevard Richard-Lenoir, Allée du Chemin-Vert, and Allée Bataclan.

Located in Atlanta, GA
A unique original silver gelatin black and white photography. View from the Place des Vosges in Paris, November 1928. Features: Original Silver Gelatin Print Photography Unframed. Press Photography. Press Agency: Anonymous. Photographer: Anonymous. Title: Place des Vosges in Paris, November 1928. Provenance: Private collection. Image Size: 4.33 in high (11.6 cm) x 5.51 in wide (14.5 cm) - Archivally matted in a 17 x 13 mat. We will ship the piece in a mat (17 x 13 in) that fits a standard-sized frame. No ink stamp, no legend. Note: The Place des Vosges, originally the Place Royale, is the oldest planned square in Paris, France. It is located in the Marais district and straddles the dividing line between The 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris. It was a fashionable and expensive square to live in during the 17th and 18th Centuries and one of the main reasons for the chic nature of Le Marais among the Parisian nobility. Originally known as the Place Royale, the Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. It is an authentic square (140 m × 140 m) and embodied one of the first European programs of royal city planning (Plaza Mayor in Madrid, begun in 1590, precedes it). It was built on the site of the Hôtel des Tournelles and its gardens: at a tournament at the Tournelles, a royal residence, Henri II was wounded and died. Catherine de Medici had the Gothic complex demolished, and she moved to the Louvre Palace. The Place Royale, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand carousel to celebrate the engagement of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria...
