Description:
The print is referring to a new approach of house ownership also published by the Charivari: some kind of chalets - Swiss style - produced inexpensively of wood and offered for sale by "La Compagnie des Maisons Mobiles". The play of words refers to a "Suisse"= Swiss but also a "concierge" or a doorman.Due to the redesign of the Parisian avenues by Hausmann many houses were demolished in favor of representative boulevards.
