French School Photograph Carcassonne 1923 Class Picture Vintage 15022125

French School Photograph

This authentic French school photograph documents a class at the Lycee de Carcassonne from 1923, capturing dozens of schoolboys and their teachers in southwestern France. The historical image presents a formal group composition in what appears to be the school courtyard, serving as a genuine document of French educational history from the early 20th century.

The black and white photograph displays clear detail and good contrast despite its century-old age. Students are arranged in multiple rows wearing typical 1920s school attire including dark jackets and caps. The image is mounted on original cream-colored cardboard backing with printed text identifying the school and year. Age-appropriate patina and minor edge wear are visible on the mounting, while the photograph itself remains well-preserved.

The overall dimensions measure 32.5cm x 27.5cm (12.8" x 10.8") with the actual French school photograph measuring 23cm x 16.5cm (9" x 6.5"). The mounting shows consistent aging throughout, with some discoloration at the edges. The photographer's mark is visible in the lower right corner of the mount.

This historical document would appeal to collectors of vintage French photography, genealogy researchers, or those interested in educational history. The Carcassonne location adds regional significance to this authentic period piece.
