First edition of a work intended to mark an event in all memories: the liberation of Paris from the Nazi occupation in 1944. Although incomplete, this series of plates manages to convey a sense of solemnity, the kind that makes us say "history is on the march". A welcome feeling after the oppression.
Good condition of contents.
