Paris: Hôtel des Invalides - Dôme Church - Tomb of Marshal Foch

The funeral monument for Ferdinand Foch, designed by Paul Landowksi, was placed in the Saint-Ambrose Chapel of the Hôtel des Invalides\' Église du Dôme in 1937. Ferdinand Foch (1851-1929) was a French soldier, military theorist and writer. He served as general in the French Army during World War I and was made Marshal of France in its final year, 1918. Shortly after the start of the Spring Offensive, Germany\'s final attempt to win the war, Foch was chosen as supreme commander of the allied armies, a position that he held until November 11, 1918, when he accepted the German Surrender. He advocated peace terms that would make Germany unable to ever pose a threat to France again.

Like almost everything else today, the humble postcard isn’t what it used to be. In early 20th-century Paris, for instance, a photographer known as Yvon, born Pierre Yves Petit, turned out simple postcards with scenic views of his city that today class him as a with Eugène Kertész.

Yvon launched his postcard business in order to take advantage of the increasing tourism in Paris, operating Éditions d’art d’Yvon from his family’s apartment in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He included his signature on his postcards, reflecting an early understanding of brand marketing. And he took his pictures early or late in the day when the sky was at its most dramatic, and his scenes would convey romantic, melancholic and even playful moods.

In many of Yvon’s images it is not uncommon to see landmarks such as Sacré Coeur or the Louvre looming in the background while life, often blurred, passes in the foreground. His postcards serve as mementos not only of the city’s buildings, gardens and monuments, but also of Paris’ celebrated street life
