Photograph of a small French two-man tank on display in Paris, ca.1916. The tank is at left and is facing to the right. It is a small, narrow vehicle with broad caterpillar tracks and a small machine gun in a turret. Two French soldiers stand near the tank at left.

A wooden fence at right separates the displays from a large crowd of civilians.
