This is a classic Maurice-Louis Branger photograph from the 1920s showing two fashionable women on a Parisian café terrace. The image captures the essence of café culture in Paris during this era. You can see the typical woven bistro chairs and round tables that were (and still are) characteristic of Parisian cafés. There's a "Telephone" sign visible in the background, indicating this was likely a café that offered telephone service, which was quite modern for the time.

The women are dressed in the distinctive 1920s style, with cloche hats, shorter skirts, and Mary Jane shoes. Their clothing and postures reflect the new freedom women experienced in the 1920s, both in fashion and in public life.

The photograph beautifully captures the casual elegance of everyday Parisian life during this period, and it's a wonderful document of both the social and architectural history of Paris's café culture. The composition, with its mix of interior and street elements, is characteristic of Branger's documentary-style photography.
