Description
Photograph of captured German guns on display in the Place de la Concorde in Paris, ca.1925. The captured artillery pieces are lined up in several long lines in front of a massive palace. Many people, including a uniformed policeman at left, are walking up and down the aisles, looking at the cannons. There is a row of gas lamps running parallel to the guns at right, and two very large statues are visible behind the guns at left.
