Have you ever gone to Paris...
And not taken dozens of pictures...
Of the fabulous street lamps?
Fortunately they haven't changed much...
Since the days when first installed in 1820, though there's no longer a streetlighter to put in the gas...
I took a closer look...
When I was painting Ben and his cat at Cartier...
The basic design seems to...
Originate...
From your everyday candlelabra. Brilliant!
I hope Paris never switches to these new-fangled horrors - more historic info at Peter's Paris.
Puleeze!BONJOUR Ville Lumiere!!
