Description
Wide angle view of the Avenue des Champs-Elysees with the Arc de Triomphe in the distance, as seen from the perspective of someone standing in the middle of a busy avenue. In the foreground, left, is a large coach drawn by three horses; nearby are smaller carriages, carts which are hand drawn or horse drawn, pedestrians and a three wheeled bicycle. Lining the street are trees; dust from the unpaved roadway creates a haze in the distance. Uncirculated, colorized, with divided back. Described as a view card, based on a realistic image of a specific location.
