About this postcard
The Mausolée aux Morts des Batailles de Champagne stands on the grounds of the 1925 Exposition des Arts Décoratifs in Paris: a stepped memorial with a tall tower and a triangular front bearing a dedication, trees flanking the approach. It commemorated French soldiers killed in the Champagne fighting of the First World War, a chalk region of eastern France that saw repeated offensives and long stretches of trench warfare. The Paris fair of 1925 is the event later credited with giving Art Deco its name, and the memorial's plain, stacked forms sit comfortably among the exhibition's displays of modern design.
