Vintage School Photograph

This authentic vintage school photograph documents a formal class gathering at Grand Lycee de Carcassonne from the 1925-1926 academic year. The black and white image captures students and faculty from this historic French educational institution in the medieval city of Carcassonne, southwestern France.

The photograph displays the characteristic formal arrangement typical of 1920s institutional photography, with subjects positioned in traditional rows against an arched colonnade backdrop. All individuals wear period-appropriate formal attire, reflecting the academic dress codes of French lycees during this era. The image shows clear contrast and detail preservation despite its age.

The photograph measures 23cm x 16.5cm (9" x 6.25") and is professionally mounted on original photographer's cardboard backing. Total dimensions reach 32.5cm x 27.5cm (12.8" x 10.8"). The mounting features period typography displaying "Grand Lycee de Carcassonne 1925-1926" along with the photographer's signature stamp. The overall condition shows appropriate aging consistent with its 98-year history while maintaining good clarity and contrast.

This historical document represents French educational heritage and would appeal to collectors of vintage photography, genealogy researchers, or those interested in 1920s French academic culture.
