THE DEPARTURE. How do you think I could still give you a tip..... I am completely cleaned out.. Charivari
Description:
This series depicted the influx of tourists from abroad and the French provinces who came to Paris to visit the Exposition of 1844. It shows how the merchants of Paris very often took advantage of the helplessness and inexperience of these travelers on their first trip to the capital.
