Kühn (publisher), photographer, paper, albumen print, height 220 mm, width 275 mm x width 397 mm, height 343 mm, Opéra de Paris, A large ornate stone building with columns and arched openings fills the center of the image, topped by a domed roof and sculpted figures on the roofline; flags hang from poles in front of the façade. In front of the building a busy street scene shows many horse-drawn carriages and people walking, some wearing long coats and hats and a few carrying umbrellas. Lamp posts and decorative sculptural elements are visible near the entrance, and adjacent buildings flank the main structure on either side. The whole scene appears in a single warm, sepia tone.
