Armistice Day in Paris
“The Place de l'Opéra, November 11, 1918. Crowds erupt at the news of the armistice. Foreground shows poilus in horizon blue swept up by celebrating Parisiennes and an American doughboy thrown a wreath; midground reveals tricolor flags pouring from balconies; the Opéra Garnier rises beyond a sea of hats and confetti under a cold bright autumn sky.”
