GRAND PALAIS, PARIS - Lot 249
GRAND PALAIS, PARIS Paris Motor Show, 1948. Photograph, vintage silver print mounted on a cardboard sheet with a caption below the image. 17.8 x 23.8 cm including white borders (photograph); 22 x 28.5 cm (sheet). Note: This photograph, taken in 1948, documents the Paris Motor Show at the Grand Palais, one of the most prestigious events dedicated to the automotive industry. Held in the monumental setting of the Grand Palais, this event has served since the early 20th century as a major showcase for technical innovations, design, and the ambitions of French and foreign automakers. The 1948 edition holds particular significance, taking place against the backdrop of postwar reconstruction and the revival of the European automotive industry. Presented on its original labeled cardboard mount, this photograph captures the atmosphere of the major trade shows of the era, where the public discovered new models destined to embody modernity and progress. It is thus a valuable document on the history of the automobile, industrial design, and the major Parisian exhibitions of the 20th century.
