[Allegorical Sculpture of Industry, Pont du Carrousel], 1852, Salted paper print from paper negative, Image: 21.1 x 15.2 cm (8 5/16 x 6 in.), Photographs, Charles Marville (French, Paris 1813–1879 Paris), Petitot’s allegory of industry was one of four sculptures that had been placed on the Pont du Carrousel, a bridge spanning the Seine, only five years before Marville made this view. The formality of the monument is somewhat mitigated by the makeshift stall displaying goods for sale—itself a tiny monument to industriousness—nestled in the niche below
