The Age of Opulence : The Belle Epoch in the Paris Herald 1890-1914

Hardcover coffee-table book "with 147 pages of illustrations, including 16 in color, from the archives of the Herald Tribune". 'The Belle Epoque in Europe was one of the most glamorous, sumptuous & stylish periods in modern history. In this carefree time, when all Europe was virtually one enormous playground, privileged people had everything they could ask for, including that most precious of today's commodities- time. To strains of Offenbach they went from balls to receptions, and from spas to chateaus.' VG/VG.
