Few rooms associated with the 1919 peace talks are as recognizable as the Salon de l'Horloge, the clock room in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Quai d'Orsay, where many top-level meetings were held. This February 1919 view of the interior is keyed to the names of all the conferees, so it doubles as a seating guide to the delegations that gathered after World War I. The image is a halftone, a process that broke photographs into ink dots so they could be reproduced widely in newspapers and official publications.
