Size Size of photo 8.2" x 6"  

With spring belatedly arriving in Paris, more and more cars make for the country each weekend. One spot within easy reach that is a favourite of Parisians and foreign visitors alike is Rambouillet, The chateau, seen across the ornamental lake, dates from the 4th century. Marie-Antoinette was bored to distraction and called Rambouillet "La Crapaudiere" (the toad-hole) on account of the dampness.Since 1897, it has been the official summer residence of French Presidents. Among statuary in the park is this group of Diana, stags and dogs an appropriate theme for the scene of France's famous diplomatic hunting parties.
This photograph originates from the International Magazine Services photo archive. IMS was a editorial photo archive in Scandinavia founded in 1948 but evolved from older archives that have images in the collection also. The archive is in great condition and been in storage for a long time and the images in the collection are now being sold off one by one. The images in this archive where distributed in only 10-15 copies around the world at the time and many copies have been lost or damaged during time, each copy from the collection is therefore very rare and unique. This kind of rare images are not only a great thing to own but also a great investment. Own a piece of history with this great photography memorabilia.
