City Hall, May 24, 1871, Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer, between 1875 and 1882

During the "semaine sanglante" of may of 1871, the hôtel de ville was set afire by the communards and took nearly eight days to be fully extinguished. Completely destroyed in the fire, the building was eventually rebuilt under the third republic. The total construction process took around ten years to complete, and the restored hôtel de ville was a near replica of that which was the center of paris prior to the commune. Date: between 1875 and 1882. Dimensions: 24 x 30 cm. Medium: lithograph. Collection: Brown University Library. Hôtel de Ville, 24 Mai 1871
