1874 · Iron Pavilions with Glass Roof · Werk 58 von 1.871

Baltard's Les Halles in Paris, iron pavilions with glazed roofs and louvred ventilators, slender cast-iron columns rising from low brick-panelled bases, covered streets running between the pavilions, market produce stacked in wicker baskets and on wooden trestles under the slender column grid, horse-drawn carts and handcarts drawn up on a street paved with stone setts, porters in smocks and caps and market women in long skirts and shawls.
