Description: An original photograph from a European traveler who visited many parts of war torn Europe in 1918-1919 just as the first world war was ending. Photographer and traveller name appears to be Sgt. Sessel. Type & Size: A 3x2" original photograph. Condition: Original from the end of the war and in fair antique condition. These originated from a scrapbook that was falling apart, and most photos have age wear, remnants of having been formerly mounted (residue on front or back), dirt, scratches, etc. Please see photos, which show a scan of both surfaces. The photograph captures a scenic view of the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, France, taken in 1919. In the image, the notable architectural structure of the Luxembourg Palace is visible in the background, along with the prominent fountains and statues that dot the landscaped gardens. The scene is serene, suggesting a peaceful moment after the turmoil of World War I. The Luxembourg Gardens, created in 1612 by Marie de' Medici, are an iconic part of Paris, often frequented by locals and tourists alike. After World War I, the gardens would have offered a place for reflection and relaxation amid the reconstruction efforts throughout Europe. The palace itself had been used variously as a government building, an art museum, and even a wartime hospital, making it a site of great historical significance. Caption: “Luxemburg garden”
