A digital photograph album with a collection of historic vintage images of the famous gargoyle statues of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The carved effigies that look down on Paris are ancient and mysterious. Their original function - to ward off evil spirits, or to divert rainwater? From the superstitious minds of medieval masons, these mythical beasts, supernatural chimeras, demons, freaks and monsters threatened damnation to the sinners who thronged France's top cathedral. They enjoy some of the most picturesque views over the rooftops of Paris. Plus bonus pics of gargoyles from other French gothic churches. Dozens of antique souvenir photo postcards in moody sepia and B&W - a great value bargain at only $1.99. Also includes free sample pages and tasters from our other French history, art and literary tours, photo ebooks and slideshows. This luxury PDF ebook edition comes with "parchment effect" paper background to give it the authentic look of an antique photo album!
