. This photo print, titled "Montmartre by night" takes us back to the 19th century streets of Paris during a time of great upheaval. The image showcases an engraving from The Days Doings newspaper dated 25 March 1871, capturing the essence of a city in turmoil.

Through this evocative snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era when Montmartre pulsated with energy and resilience. It captures not only the spirit of rebellion but also highlights how
