Title
Le Paris de l'exposition. Le nouveau boulevard Saint-Germain dans toute son étendue.
Description
View of Paris in 1878, during the World Fair. The boulevard Saint-Germain (following a line symmetrical to the shores of the river Seine, on the right side of the picture) had been renovated and redesigned by Haussmann during the Second Empire, and was now completed. On the left side of the picture, one can see the Place de la Concorde, and behind it the Tuileries (which had burnt during the Paris Commune, but which were still standing) and the Louvre. The image on the top right-hand corner is a view of the boulevard Saint-Germain, while the one on the top left-hand corner represents the Place de la Bastille and the Colonne de Juillet. The image on the bottom right hand corner of the print represents the Palais Bourbon, which had been built for Louis XIV's illegitimate daughter. The pediment façade was a later addition by Napoleon. Today, this building is the seat of the National Assembly.
