Crossing the Gutter after a Thunderstorm; from Garnier (engraving) captures the gritty reality of 19th-century France. This powerful image, part of a private collection, showcases the aftermath of a violent thunderstorm in pre-revolutionary times. The engraving depicts a scene filled with filth and mess as people navigate their way across a dirty gutter.
