This drawing shows a mix of buildings with strange, pointy roofs and domes. Some look like tents or pavilions, while others have fancy towers. Trees and bushes fill the scene, and people are scattered around, walking or standing. The whole thing sits by a body of water with wavy lines at the bottom. The text at the bottom says "Trocadero" and "Algerian Palace," hinting this is a fair or exhibition space. The artist signed it "M. Lalanne" in 1878. If you like this mix of real and exotic, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art.
