Mannen die duiven loslaten, treinongeluk op Gare Montparnasse op 22 oktober 1895 en fietsers in het Bois de Boulogne, Frankrijk Possibly 1895 - 1896

This photograph, possibly taken between 1895 and 1896, captures three distinct scenes: a train derailment at Gare Montparnasse, men releasing pigeons in an outdoor setting, and cyclists in the Bois de Boulogne in Paris, France. The anonymous photographer likely aimed to document the everyday happenings of the time, providing viewers with a glimpse into late-19th century Parisian life. The image’s historical significance lies in its portrayal of these events, capturing the aftermath of the train accident and the leisurely activities of the city's inhabitants. The composition, though split into three separate photographs, highlights the photographer's keen eye for capturing both the dramatic and mundane aspects of life in the City of Lights.
