The real Latin quarter
Frank Berkeley Smith's 1901 account of student and artist life in Paris, published in New York by Funk & Wagnalls for American readers curious about bohemian Montparnasse and the Boulevard Saint-Michel. The plates are soft-grained halftone photographs of narrow streets, café terraces, open-air markets, studio interiors and models, useful for period costume, shopfront lettering and the muddy tonal range of early photomechanical printing.
