The illustration, originally featured in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on January 13th, 1907, offers a vivid glimpse into the daily life of Parisians during the cold winter months. In this chaotic tableau, we find ourselves amidst a crowd of male and female pedestrians navigating their way through muddy streets.

The city is alive with activity as carriages and omnibuses jostle for space amidst the traffic jam.
