Paris the Beautiful in Enduring Metropolis
A travelogue from August 1905 describes Paris as cosmopolitan and radiant, detailing sights from Versailles to the Louvre, Notre Dame to the Eiffel Tower, and the city’s art, bread, and social life. The author notes differences between Paris and American norms, comments on tourism, class, and war memory, and previews a shift to London before returning to New York.
