Photo underglass of the BNCI 16 Boulevard des Italians in 1942

Sober and elegant oak frame for this former poster of the art deco headquarters of the b.n.c.i. In 1942. The imposing building, completed in 1932, celebrates the establishment's breakthrough in the Paris square, in the financial heart of the capital. But it was inaugurated by the national bank for trade and industry (bnci), the bnc having gone bankrupt in the meantime. It often illustrates the brochures and advertisements of the bnci, as well as those of the national bank of paris (bnp) which took it over at the time of the merger in 1966. It is still the head office of bnp paribas. The group's operational headquarters are located at 3 rue d'antin in Paris.
