Paris Grand Hotel at Place de l'Opera, c. 1890

Scanned from A Photographic Trip Around the World, John W. Illiff & Co., Chicago, 1892. Copyright expired.

Original caption: GREAT BOULEVARDS, PARIS, FRANCE. -- The splendid line of streets, known as the Great Boulevards, which extend on the north side of the Seine, from the Madeline at one end, to the Bastile at the other, was originally the line of fortifications or bulwarks of the City of Paris. In 1670, the city having extended northward far beyond the fortifications, the moats were filled up, the walls destroyed and the Boulevards formed. This photograph represents the Grand Hotel at the corner of the Place de l'Opera.
