Original – The Saint-Jacques Tower in Paris. Built 1509-23, it was restored by architect Théodore Ballu between 1854-58. This photograph was taken after the restoration, around 1867 by Charles Soulier.
Reason
Very good illustration of the tower, pictured right after the restoration by Théodore Ballu carried out between 1854-58. It provides also an excellent illustration of the square surrounding it and its users.
