The lithograph, originally published in the journal *L'Illustration*, depicts two scenes of demolition and rebuilding within the city. The print showcases the architectural changes of Paris and offers a valuable historical document for understanding the urban planning during the reign of Napoleon III, when Paris was undergoing a massive transformation under the direction of Baron Haussmann.
