A funny one!

An unusual Carte de Visite with two men ignoring the prohibition sign, "Defense d'uriner". Second Empire humor ;-)
Some discoloration due to age. Small darker sports are from the original retouching.

Carte de Visite without a photographer's imprint. Another print is in the California Museum of Photography, that one was published by Bernheim-Jeune, Rue Neuve 42, Bruxelles.

ca. 10,5 x 6,2 cm

Literature:
Elizabeth Anne McCauley, A.A.E. Disderi and the Carte de Visite Portrait Photograph, 1985 (page 105, fig. 96)
