G. BOURDIER (DATES UNKNOWN) CATHÉDRALES. Circa 1938.
39 1/2x24 1/2 inches, 100x62 cm. C.C.R., Paris.
Condition B+: repaired tear through top margin into image; minor restoration at edges; crease in image.
A tranquil, beatific cathedral interior, featuring an elaborate gothic Rose Window, with only a few other architectural elements highlighted. A pre-war image that cannot predate 1938, as it was that year in which the French Railways were consolidated into the S.N.C.F (Chemins de Fer Français).
