Paris — Les Invalides — Main Entrance — Publisher E. Le Dabay, Paris, No. 4547

Description

View of the main entrance of the Invalides in Paris, with its imposing portal and monumental façade. The printed text on the front recalls the history of the site: founded by Louis XIV to accommodate wounded soldiers, started in 1671, completed in 1674, and later transformed into the Army Museum and the Tomb of Napoleon I. The back indicates the publisher E. Le Dabay, Paris, and presents the typical correspondence and address areas of a postcard.
