Gezicht op het feest Foire aux pains d’épices op het place du Trône in Parijs c. 1850 - 1880

This is the back of a photograph by Hippolyte Jouvin, a French photographer known for his work documenting life in Paris in the mid-19th century. The inscription reveals the subject of the photograph: "Vue Instantanée de Paris", a snapshot of the "Foire aux Pains d’Épices" (Gingerbread Fair) at the Place du Trône in Paris. The inscription further describes the work as a "déposé" or copyright-registered work, suggesting it was commercially distributed. Jouvin's work captured the bustling daily life of Paris, often portraying street scenes, markets, and public events.
