This is an original 1876 black and white wood engraving of different moneymaking ventures one could expect to find on the city streets in 18th century Paris, France. Along the top panels, one man attempts to sell miniature windmills whist the other peddles scissors, knives, and combs. In the bottom panels, a strolling vinegar merchant pushed her cart along while a blind man from the Quinze-Vingts Infirmary begs for change.
