Cour de la Gare Saint-Lazare

Overview

A horsedrawn double-decker bus sits immobile at the centre of the image, with a flurry of horse-drawn carriages and omnibuses swirling around it. Then the vehicle, loaded with passengers, finally sets off, headed either for Batignolles or Montparnasse Station, revealing in the background a swarm of chaos that is enough to make one’s head spin. Carriages, horses, pedestrians and wagons intersect in all directions.
