WWI, Notre-Dame de Paris, 1919

Description: Entitled: The American Red Cross man took the doughboy to see the wonders of Notre Dame. He climbed high up in one of the towers where he is shown addressing the fine stone bird. Notre-Dame de Paris is a historic Catholic cathedral of Paris, France. The cathedral is considered to be one of the finest examples of French Gothic architecture and among the largest and most well-known church buildings in the world. Notre-Dame de Paris was among the first buildings in the world to use the flying buttress. Many small individually crafted statues were placed around the outside to serve as column supports and water spouts. Among these are the famous gargoyles, designed for water run-off, and chimeras.
