Postcard showing a panoramic view of several bridges on the Seine River in Paris. According to Charles C. Myers, the photograph was taken from a hot air balloon, which is a popular way to see panoramic views of the city. Myers notes another hot air balloon and the Pont Alexander III in the distance as well as trees and parkways along the river.
Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Balloon riding is quite a fashion in Paris and also s [sic] pleasure. Excellent views of the city may be had from a balloon on a clear day and good panorama views may be taken from balloon. This picture was taken in that way and you can also see in the distant [sic] another balloon that perhaps has a party of tourists seeing the city. This gives a good view of the Sein [sic] river and part of the city. You also see in the distand [sic], with statuary at either end, the noted bridge built by Alexander 3rd. We will see a closer view of this bridge later. Also see that there are parkways and shade trees along thr [sic] river banks.”
