DESCRIPTION: Numbered, signed and dated in pencil. "A. Brouet 1902"<br><br> The Trocadero Palace was an eclectic building of Moorish and neo-Byzantine inspiration. Built for the 1878 Exposition Universelle, it was not intended to outlast the event; although the building was eventually preserved for some sixty years, it was widely criticized for its architectural style, its progressive dilapidation, and the poor acoustics of its main hall, which was soon deserted by orchestras. It was dismantled in 1935 in preparation for the 1937 Exposition Universelle, to make way for a new building, the Palais de Chaillot.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Numbered "no.29". Printed on deckle edged "Van Gelder Zonen" paper.
