[Photographic Archive]: World War I Armistice Parade Photographs

Paris, France: 1918.

Price: $1,400.00

Unbound. A collection of 40 loose photographs on double-weight stock, in the original paper folder from the photographic studio, John Daniell & Sons of New York City. Folder is good only with chips, tears, and rubbing; the photographs are fine. An archive of photographs from Armistice Day in Paris in 1918 taken by an American onlooker. The photographs are taken on the route just beyond the Arch de Triumph with it in the background of many of the photos. There are throngs of people gathered to watch the troops march by with a focus on American troops. One photo shows the American Hospital Service car and another shows a waving American flag. There are troops on foot with rifles as well as mounted troops and men in military cars and vehicles. Armistice Day is now known as Remembrance Day in France and is still celebrated. On the 11th of November 1918 the streets were full of people and the *Daily Mirror* wrote at the time “processions of soldiers and munition girls arm in arm were everywhere.”

A wonderful collection of original photographs taken from the crowd on Paris’ Armistice Day.
