This Month in Photo of the Day: Vintage National Geographic Photographs
Parisians walk past lottery and vermouth advertisements on the City of Light’s Boulevard des Italiens in 1936. The poster for the national lottery says, "Try Your Luck."
Photographer Maynard Owen Williams had many adventures as National Geographic’s first foreign correspondent, including reporting on the opening of the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1923.
