The Weather in Paris in 1909

By  Lizzie Hughes 2012
The work seeks to bring together a series of consecutively dated postcards that were sent from and postmarked in Paris in 1909. The handwritten message on each card in some way refers to the state of the weather at the time of writing. Through customary casual reference, the work reveals an unintentional record of the daily atmospheric conditions from over 100 years ago.
