Paris Opera, 1880s
The Opera Garnier (building completed in 1876) looks much the same now as it did then but the street scene in front of it is interesting. The strength of the shadows seems to indicate that three of the women are holding up parasols against the sun rather than umbrellas, while the two buses are drawn exclusively by white horses. Something oddly reminiscent of a Lowry about the foreground.
