EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in December 1931, captures a significant moment in the historical flow of gold from the United States to France. The image shows a train that had just arrived at the Batignolles station in Paris from Le Havre, with gold bullion being transferred into motor lorries for transport to the Bank of France. The arrival of the train marked the completion of the maritime journey of the gold, which had set sail from the US shores, crossing the Atlantic Ocean to reach Le Havre. The gold was then transported overland to the heart of Paris, a testament to the robust economic ties between the two nations during that era. The gold bullion was transported in a total of 21 kegs, each containing approximately 270 pounds of gold. The transfer process was meticulous and secure, with the gold being carefully loaded into the motor lorries for the final leg of its journey to the Bank of France. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the historical gold trade between the US and France, a time when the global monetary system was dominated by the gold standard. The image also serves as a reminder of the intricate logistical processes involved in the movement of valuable commodities across borders, even during a time when transportation technologies were less advanced than they are today. Overall, this photograph is an essential addition to any collection that seeks to document the economic and historical relationship between the United States and France, as well as the broader global economic landscape of the early 20th century.
