montecarlocasino

This appears to be the reverse view of this photo of the Casino at Monte Carlo. Note the balustrades and the light standards. A modern view from the opposite end of the parkway shows that the landscaping has been altered with the addition of fountains.

I had been wondering if it was Monaco! If you look on the hi-res version of the picture on the LOC site, you can see one of the buildings has a sign that says "HOTEL DE LONDRES," and this tourist guide from 1905 refers to a hotel with that name in Monaco--as well as some other cities including Nice, featured in at least one other mystery shot.

Garden side, Casino Monte Carlo:

Very interesting to have the pictures matched in a sequence, as if looking back at the casino entrance, before walking onto the veranda, and then into the garden. Thanks for providing the solid visual and hotel name confirmation to restore this picture's identity! (New title added above.)

This is the landward facade of the Casino at Monte Carlo. This side of the building has been altered since this photo was made, but it is still recognizable. Here's a modern photo from Wikimedia Commons. A modern photo of the seaward facade,largely unchanged, shows the distinctive towers and roof more clearly.

Aye, it's le Casino de Monaco.

Thanks! You've made this picture findable!
