Fâcheuse situation mercantile des marchands de galette du Boulevard..., 19th century. ...les jours où la boue ne permet plus aux Parisiens de circuler qu'à l'aide de grandes échasses. (The unfortunate commercial situation of the pancake vendors on the Boulevard... on days when the mud only allows Parisians to get around using tall stilts). A sign reads: 'Systeme Mac Adam' - indicating that the roads are being surfaced with tarmac.
