. This black and white lithograph by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen takes us back to June 1894, offering a fascinating insight into the social fabric of French society during that time.

Meanwhile, another gentleman appears deep in thought as he gazes at his surroundings. The lithograph beautifully portrays both male and female figures from different walks of life.
