Petit Palais - l'escalier



Petit Palais was built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition 
and became a museum in 1902.  
 
The architect Charles Girault 
is also credited for the wrought iron design 
gracing this circular staircase 
and the magnificent
 entrance gates.

    Wow...! It really is a "marble-lous" work. No mention the iron work. Honor to Mr. Girault. The image is superb, a warm black and white, a portrait of light... Thank you so much, Genie.

    Hmm, just think about the weight being supported by those braces.
