Musee de Cluny Paris Facade Exterieure France Postcard 1940s

Paris, FranceLinen/ChromeGood

Sepia real-photo style postcard showing the exterior facade of the Musee de Cluny (Hotel de Cluny) in Paris, France -- a remarkably preserved late-Gothic mansion of the 15th century, now housing the National Museum of the Middle Ages. The asymmetrical stone facade with its distinctive steep-pitched roof, ornate Gothic dormers with carved finials, crenellated wall, and arched entry gateway is shown from the street level, framed by large mature trees. Several pedestrians are visible near the entrance. The card has distinctive deckled (torn) edges, characteristic of French photographic postcard formats of the 1930s-1950s.
