Historical commentary:
at the time, the saint-germain l'auxerrois church was still surrounded by buildings and it was only a few years later that a renaissance-style replica (1859) built by hittorff to house the district town hall was added to the north, separated from the church by a neo-gothic belfry tower (1860) built by ballu. The sky of the negative was darkened with a brush, in order to give the image a clear and homogeneous sky. Mode of acquisition: purchase at public sale
