THESE ARE QUINTESSENTIAL EXAMPLES OF TIME FROZEN CIRCA 1855-1875 * ALBUMEN PRINTS RENDERED DETAILS EXCEPTIONALLYWELL AND A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE IS THIS PHOTO OF Le Pont Saint Michel / Notre Dame CAPTURING DOUBLE DECK COACHES LOADEDWITH TOP HATTED MEN AND PULLED BY DOUBLE AND TRIPLE TEAMS OF HORSES HANDLED BY DAPPER UNIFORMED COACH MEN.A MAGNIFYING GLASS FURTHER REVEALS PEOPLE OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE AS IF YOU JUST STEPPED INTO A FROZEN FRAME OF 1855.I LOVE THE POSTER LADEN URINAL ON THE LEFT AND THE TWO MEN IN IDENTICAL DRESS STEPPING OFF OF THE CURB BESIDE IT.
