Description from the seller
Set of 12 stereoscopic plates 4.5x10.7 cm on glass plate — Paris: La Libération, Division Leclerc and barricades (August 24-25, 1944) + Original box
Exceptional and very rare ensemble of 12 original stereoscopic negatives on glass plates in the 4.5x10.7 cm format, kept in their original storage box. Dated precisely August 24-25, 1944, this lot constitutes a top-tier historical and memorial document on the fights of the Liberation of Paris, immortalizing the arrival of General Leclerc’s 2nd Armoured Division at the heart of the 5th arrondissement, the barricades of the insurrection, and the early moments of freedom alongside American troops.
Full description of the views in the lot:
1. The insurrection and the Liberation barricades (August 24, 1944):
Barricades and street fighting: poignant images of the barricade on Rue Clovis and the one at the foot of Rue Saint-Jacques, witnesses to the active defense of the district by the resistance.
Scenes of combat: views taken at the corner of Rue Cujas and the day after a shootout near the Sorbonne.
Captivity: prisoners being guarded by the FFI and the local population.
2. The arrival of the Leclerc Division and the Allies:
Arrival of the Leclerc Division: historic images capturing the triumphant and highly tense arrival of the vehicles of the 2nd DB progressing along Rue Saint-Jacques, near the Sorbonne.

Relax and respite: views taken in the calm restored to Square Viviani.
