France 1900. 45th Ed. cover

Between the Franco-Prussian War and WWI, France in the 1900s was a gilded moment of peace and prosperity. The authors Sabine Arqué and Marc Walter curate this collection of vintage photographs, postcards, posters, and photochromes. From the Paris World’s Fair to the honey light of the Côte d’Azur, it’s a glimpse into an era of rose-tinted optimism.

“The freshness of this ‘ideal’ France bursts out in the naive colors of these photochromes, postcards, and colorized photographs, which conjure up the atmosphere of the Belle Époque.” * Sabine Arqué *
“You can not only indulge in the beauty of Paris, but also discover what the French provinces looked like back then. A magnificent volume for Francophiles.” * Deutschlandfunk Kultur *
