I did not mis-type. These are 2 photographs from an old travel album I've purchased a long time ago. Several well-to-do friends from US went on a very long trip to Europe, and they happened to be in Paris on July 5, 1924. Many photos, like Trocadero from Eifel Tower, show the views which don't exist any more. Fascinating stuff.
