The Galerie des Glaces is the central and most famous gallery of the Palace of Versailles. Constructed during the reign of King Louis XIV and completed in 1684, the grand hall features 357 mirrors set opposite 17 arches that overlook the palace gardens. It was originally designed to demonstrate the political, economic, and artistic power of France to visiting dignitaries. Historically, it is most widely recognized as the site where the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919, officially ending World War I.
This is a clean, well-preserved card suitable for collectors of European architecture, French history, or classic topographical postcards.
