A charming, descriptive volume on the daily outdoors life of Parisians at the turn of the century, with illustrations. In the publisher’s original cloth binding. With a coloured watercolour frontispiece and many monochrome plates and vignettes, illustrated by the author and other artists. This book vividly depicts the various outdoor activities and sights one can find Parisians doing at the turn of the century, told largely through the author’s own anecdotes and observations. With four leaves of publisher’s advertisements to the rear. F. Berkeley Smith often explored Parisians and French culture in the early 20th century, particularly Bohemian Paris, with his other works including ‘How Paris Amuses Itself’ and ‘The Real Latin Quarter’.
