Title
Nouvelle méthode pour indiquer les noms des rues de Paris et des édifices publics.
Description
The article accompanying this print describes the problems encountered by Parisians when trying to decipher the names of the streets at night. Streetlights placed at regular intervals did not necessarily provide enough light at junctions and street corners. This print reproduces a few examples of corner streetlights, which were invented to remedy this problem. They were affixed on walls, and the name of the street was inscribed on the glass.
