Saint Germain des Prés, Paris, 1958

Background
The poster carries no credit for photography or printing. It is also undated, though the range of car models strongly suggests 1956-1960. The photograph, with the 12th century church tower on the right, appears to have been taken from the upper floor of a house on the corner of Rue Bonaparte. Clustered around this location are the famous cafés of the Left Bank, patronised in those years by the great French writers, artists, singers and philosophers of the day.
