EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Paris, capturing a moment in time when the iconic Pump of Pont Notre Dame stood tall and proud. Painted by an anonymous French artist, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts the grandeur and significance of this now-demolished structure.
