Paris 100 Years Ago - Vintage Postcards - Calendar 2008

A dozen nostalgic souvenir picture postcards from Paris as it was a century ago. Fascinating and inspiring historical images of the French capital's most famous monuments and streets: the Arc de Triomphe, Rue de Rivoli, Notre Dame Cathedral... Calendar includes French national holidays for 2008, for extra Gallic flavor! A great gift, or just treat yourself! "C'est bon!"

Paris in the Edwardian and Art Deco years boasted dozens of variety venues where groups of sexy girl starlets - dressed in sequined, feathery, sometimes revealing costumes, or body stockings - excited audiences each show: Burlesque cabarets, music halls & vaudeville theaters, famous for their lavish musical spectacles - the Folies Bergères, Moulin Rouge, Ambassadeurs, the Opera Comique, Casino de Paris and Alcazar...

A slideshow with random artistic transition effects between the images. The show lasts nearly an hour - four hundred vintage glamour images, many in beautiful hand-tinted color (includes some risqué or topless shots), with nostalgic, jazzy background tracks. Fascinating to browse, for all fans of performing arts & classic female fashions! Play it on your TV or computer screen. (Super resolution NTSC quality images.) Also includes a few snapshot tasters for some of our other vintage photo titles. Great mood setter for parties, stores, events...

This digital photograph album contains a collection of historic vintage images featuring the famous gargoyle statues of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The monstrous carved stone effigies that look down on Paris are ancient and mysterious. Their original function - to ward off evil spirits, or to divert rainwater from the walls of the church? Or something altogether more sinister? From the superstitious minds of medieval masons, these mythical beasts, supernatural chimeras, demons, freaks and monsters threatened damnation and worse to the sinners who thronged France's top cathedral. Do these symbolic birds and animals hold the real secret of the Da Vinci Code? Did they inspire Victor Hugo's Quasimodo, in his novel the Hunchback of Notre Dame? There's no doubt they enjoy some of the most picturesque views over the rooftops and spires of Paris. Plus bonus pictures of medieval gargoyles from other French gothic churches. Packed with dozens of fantastic antique souvenir photo postcards in moody sepia and B&W - a great value bargain at only $1.99 (less than £1!). Also includes free sample pages and tasters from our other French history, art and literary tours, photo ebooks and slideshows. Of interest to tourists and travelers, postcard collectors, fans of history, architecture and the occult.
