[Photographer - Unknown]

Photograph: “Armistice Day in France — April 18, 1919” (gelatin silver print)

Unmounted gelatin silver print, ca. 1919, image 7.5 × 5.875 in. (19.1 × 14.9 cm). Verso in pencil: Armistice Day in France April 18.

Condition: Very good—crisp contrast overall with light edge waviness and faint handling; clean verso with the period inscription.

Subjects: World War I; Allied Forces; AEF; military parades & reviews; demobilization; crowd photography; France, 1919.

Note: While Armistice Day is traditionally observed on 11 November 1918, the penciled caption likely refers to a later celebratory review/assembly during occupation and demobilization in spring 1919. The image powerfully conveys the scale of the AEF/Allied presence immediately after the war.
