This building looks like a grand, fancy palace made of stone. Tall columns line the front, and statues of people stand between the windows. Above the entrance, there’s a big semicircle with more carvings of figures, almost like a stage set. The photo is in black and white, so it looks old-fashioned. The details are sharp, showing how carefully the carvings and windows were made. Next, check out Édouard Baldus (French, 1813–1889) to see more of his work.
