Paris - Le Palais du Trocadéro


The Palais du Trocadéro was built for the 1878 World's Fair in the form of a large concert hall with two wings. It contained a large organ, the first to be installed in a concert hall in France. The organ was eventually moved to Lyon where it is still in use.
The Palais du Trocadéro, which was not particularly popular with the French, was demolished to make way for the new Palais de Chaillot for the Exposition Internationale of 1937.

This card was sent on August 10, 1918, three months before the end of World War I. The message reads:
Hello Mor:
Just to say that that just over here and still able to do my little share in this big thing. Regards to all the folks, I am
Eli

The card was also passed and stamped by censors and marked by the recipient as answered on 9/14/18.
