General Topology, chapter VI, § 3. Real projective spaces

The Grassmannian Gn,pG_{n,p} is homeomorphic to the space Pn,pP_{n,p}.

We recall finally that the Grassmannians Gn,p(K)G_{n,p}(K) and Gn,n−p−1(K)G_{n,n-p-1}(K) are subsets of the same projective space Pn−1(K)P_{n-1}(K) and can be transformed into the other by a projective linear transformation; it follows that Gn,pG_{n,p} and Gn,n−p−1G_{n,n-p-1} are homeomorphic.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
