Church of the Madeline
The printer needed to burn in the bottom of the picture, but other than that it's a great photograph.
Anyway, in my last post, one half of the card had a picture of the Church of the Madeline in Paris, France. The building was designed by architect Pierre-Alexandre Vignon, started in 1806, it was originally a monument commissioned by Napoleon, The Temple to the Glory of the Great Army. After the fall of Napoleon and the Bourbon restoration, it was given to the Catholic Church.
Written on the back, "Madeline Church." No date, but I'd bet on the 1930s.
