Boulevard
Raised pedestrian paths were a late 18th-century British invention, which early 19th-century Parisian urban planners adopted to protect edestrians from horse-drawn carriage traffic. In 1929 Wim Oepts recorded this wide but overcrowded pavement featuring a lively choreography of café-goers, waiters and passers-by, while cars whizz by in the background.
