Viewed from the edge of the canal, this Claude Tabet print focuses on the liveliness and quaint atmosphere of Paris during the 19th century. Featuring women with full skirts, hats, and parasols alongside mothers and fathers pushing baby carriages, the sidewalks are lined with the upper-class inhabitants of the city out on a stroll. Fishing or just relaxing, other Parisians watch the barge full of goods float by.
