historical commentary:
following the flood of 1740, which extended over some 720 hectares, citizen bouquet had a plaque engraved. This was then embedded in the wall of the quinze-vingts hospice. The second plaque, in enamel, which provides information on the 1910 flood, is placed 83 centimeters from the ground. The inscriptions affixed to the back of the prints correspond to a system of marks and classification of the historical commission of old paris: the number written in red in pencil or ink is that of the negative. The number written in grease pencil provides information on the existence of a slide, projection view (kept at the old paris commission). The number in blue identifies the subject photographed which is part of a photographic campaign carried out at a given location. The photographs from this campaign are gathered in a file which bears the name of the topography (street or area). Information communicated by the old paris commission.
