Légende

Ruins of Paris: fountain in the Place de la Concorde, 1871. The last of the Paris Commune. 'The stone basin of the large bronze fountain had been sadly damaged; the ornamental pillars and lamp-posts of metal were bent or broken; the place was littered with heaps of stone, sacks of earth, empty barrels, splinters of shells, soldiers' knapsacks, caps, uniforms, ramrods, bayonets, bottles, tin cans, and half-burnt papers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
