Paris de siècle en siècle; le coeur de Paris, splendeurs et souvenirs
An illustrated popular history of Paris, drawn and written by Albert Robida and issued by La Librairie illustrée in 1896 for French general readers and armchair travellers. Pen-and-ink and tinted plates reconstruct Gothic palaces, timbered riverside houses and street crowds, useful for architectural detail, period costume figures and townscape silhouettes against open sky.
