For it is at this climax to the Grande...of festivals that Counts and Countesses and dames and gentlemen come face to face with -- but...actually meet -- the populace. The track on...horses race over a lighted course conveniently...the social cleavage, and the classes stare across...dividing line...mutual admiration. Dragging thru wet grass of the oval pelouse, which is encircled...track, 10-franc admissions gaze appreciatively...gowns and silk hats bobbing along the grandstand promenade. And from the 120-franc section, the tophat crowd gazes back, wondering how they ever stand it on the other side. while selected orchestras play for dancers in brilliant casinos, gentlemen bow and kiss ladies' hands, and everyone scurries after the latest celebrities arriving at the president's box in the general admission section on the outer rim. Crowds are amused by prize fighters, magicians, wire although walkers and carnival rides between races. It was cold and wet and muddy at this year's Nuit De Longchamp, every soggy shoe, every spattered gown, every numb finger was sacrificed, unanimously for the occasion. And when the amazing display of fireworks was pumped into the sky at the climax of the show, the vast crowd jostled out into the Bois De Boulogne homeward bound, contented that they had maintained their standing as true Parisians. They had all seen the big week climaxed by the big night - La Nuit De Longchamp.

S. money. Photo measures 7.25 x 9 inches. Photo Is dated 1938. PHOTO FRONT

Historic Images was formed in September 2009, with a handful of scanners working out of a basement to digitize newspaper photo archives. We have since moved out of the basement, and we can now archive thousands of photos per day. Our company has worked with magazines and newspapers from Detroit, Boston, Denver, Seattle, Tampa, Chicago, and New Orleans, just to name a few.

We are constantly adding to our inventory, and have assembled an archive of millions of photos to date. As our company evolved, we began our business, which brings thousands of fresh sales per week to the world's largest online sale marketplace. Our custom software systems and team of great employees allow us to efficiently scan and sell large photo archives online. At the very core of our company's DNA is a strong commitment to customer satisfaction and strict integrity for our product.
