About the Item

An original silver gelatin black and white photograph by Wide World Photos, Paris. A street view of Boulevard Montmartre in Paris, circa 1930. Features: Original Silver Gelatin Print Photograph Unframed. Press Photograph. Press Agency: Wide World Photos - The New York Times S.A. in Paris. Photographer: Anonymous. Title: busy street view of Boulevard Montmartre in Paris, circa 1930. Provenance: Private collection. Image Size: 6.29 in high (16.6 cm) x 4.33 in wide (11.8 cm) - Archivally matted in a 17 x 13 mat. The ink stamp at the back read: "Wide World Photos - The New York Times S.A. - 106 rue Réaumur, 100 - Paris - Tel: GUT 65-46 or 65-47 - Adr. Télég: TIMWIT-PARIS". There was probably a caption attached to the back of the photo, but it appears to have been removed at some point. We will ship this piece in a mat (17 x 13 in) that fits a standard-sized frame. Note: Le Petit Casino, at 12 Boulevard Montmartre, is a show restaurant built in 1893 on the former site of the Oriental Bazaar and the Séraphin Theater. It closed its doors in 1948. On the left side of the photograph, you can see the front of La Maxeville brasserie-restaurant. La Grande Maxéville was founded in 1901. The architect Joachim Richard (1869-1960) designed the new Grande Maxéville. His son-in-law, Georges Roehrich, designed an establishment in a pure "Art Deco" style. Imagine the rooms covered with engraved mirrors, one story high - including the ceiling and we'll get a little idea of what this superb restaurant was like. Elves were dancing in swarms, on the blinds, on the walls, and on the ceiling. They symbolized the Parisian party and the joy of living and brought an undeniable touch of fantasy to this place. The "Grands Boulevards" at that time were still flourishing. Luxury shops were spreading out there. A nighttime activity allowed the restaurants to fill up very often. The theaters, including that of the variety show located on the opposite sidewalk, attracted a share of the clientele. During the day, people would come and sip a drink while listening to the orchestra. Many famous artists performed as "guest stars" at La Maxéville. The Grands Boulevards and mainly the Boulevard Montmartre have always been one of the centers of Paris, which exert the most attraction with tourists, Provincials, and Parisians. It is indeed the central artery of the capital. Many shops, cafes, restaurants, and shows throng the famous boulevard. As soon as night falls, one by one, the signs light up, the facades light up, and the boulevard is adorned with a thousand different lights. A museum, opposite a theatre, there again a cinema and so on, finally, surpassing them all with its brilliance: La Maxeville. La Maxéville formed, so to speak, the backdrop to this main artery of the financial heart of Paris. Throughout the day, services were operated in a welcoming setting with a fixed price and à la carte menus, making it possible to satisfy the most difficult. During the day, a first-rate orchestra will be heard until 6.30 p.m., allowing amateurs to enjoy tea or an aperitif in a unique setting. Afterward, during dinner, the orchestra will resume its auditions at 8 p.m. and end well after midnight. Then, after the Second World War, habits evolved, and the La Maxeville Restaurant became obsolete. The sublime restaurant closed its doors, and its once-magnificent decor was reduced to dust. The mirror ceiling covered with sprites was taken down piece by piece. (Credit: Parissecretetinsolite blog)
