Description

WWI Era President Wilson George Washington Bust Paris Postcard. This compelling vintage postcard captures a significant historical moment from the World War I era, depicting a bust of George Washington draped in American flags, surrounded by a distinguished crowd. Central to the scene is President Woodrow Wilson, standing prominently at the base of the monument, holding a document. The setting evokes a sense of solemnity and national pride, likely commemorating American involvement or a diplomatic event in France during or immediately following the Great War. The text identifies the scene as related to the United States of America and President Wilson, with artistic contributions by P. Carrier-Belleuse and A.-F. Gorguet for the "Pantheon de la Guerre." Published by Edit. Art H. Manuel in Paris, this collectible piece offers a glimpse into early 20th-century history and Franco-American relations. The detailed monochrome image, possibly a photogravure or high-quality printed postcard, presents a rich visual narrative of a pivotal period. It's a superb acquisition for collectors of WWI memorabilia, presidential history, or vintage French postcards, reflecting a period of intense global change and American leadership.
