Félix Buhot’s cityscapes explore society and the visual effects of weather. Drawing his street in Montmartre, Paris, Buhot established a technique in which sketchy images around the margins refer to elements of the main composition. These innovative prints often employed multiple media and many variant states. In Winter in Paris , Buhot used his “symphonic margin” to highlight the death of buggy-pulling horses from exposure to the city’s cold. In National Holiday on the Boulevard Clichy , the margins are filled with sketches of the street festival, including a top hat, carriage, and a variety of figures both nude and clothed.
