Large Mounted Photo taken from the rooftop of the Church of Saint Gervais in Paris, France by an unknown photographer. Geographical research to confirm the sticker on this photo's plastic casing reveals the location where this photo was taken to be Paris, France. The photo includes various famous landmarks, specifically the river Seine, Pont Neuf, and the Sainte-Chapelle, located to the left with a visible dome. On the right side of the photo, in the far distance, is the Arc De Triomphe, or Arc of Triumph. This photo is wrapped in plastic. On the plastic is a sticker with the words "48, $-10.00, Late 1800's Panoramic view of Paris, 1479." At the bottom of the photo is believed to be written "189 Paris, Panorama des Neun Ponf, [vue wake du S Co teis?] X Phot.", The date of this photo is inferred to be a roughly 20-year gap between 1860 and 1880 due to the presence of the Arc de Triomphe's statue on top, but no Eiffel Tower is visible in the photo.
