Other than the number of cars (more), balloons (fewer) and soldiers (fewer), Paris looks pretty similar today.

- edouard1234567 14y agoParis never ages...
- husker314 14y agoLike many major European cities. You'll struggle to find a building in Rome's center that didn't exist 150 years ago.
- cgrand-net 14y agoGermany being an exception.
- anonymouz 14y agoAnd Rotterdam...
- geoffschmidt 14y agoAlso dramatically less advertising (though even today Paris doesn't have that much.)
- bambax 14y agoI was going to say the same thing; there are no more horse-drawn carriages on the city's bridges and the dresses have changed a lot, but the buildings and general surroundings, and night scenes are very identical today.
- kraymer 14y agoCould be interesting to juxtapose old/actual photos I immediately recognized this perspective, in the (nowadays) turkish district : http://i.imgur.com/Lj5guCF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Lj5guCF.jpg vs http://goo.gl/maps/d7rDc http://goo.gl/maps/d7rDc
- notahacker 14y agoThere's a picture art book called Revisiting Eugene Atget's Paris which compares a famous photographers' early 20th century photographs of Paris and similarly-exposed black and white shots from the same position almost 100 years later
- c2prods 14y agoYou're right, Atget's work is also particularly interesting! Here's a link to some of his pictures: http://openpn.tumblr.com/tagged/Atget http://openpn.tumblr.com/tagged/Atget
- Luc 14y agoYup, just noticed how the modern pharmacy sign on the left is in the same location as a very similar (though red instead of green) sign ~100 years ago.
