View of the remains of the Hôtel de Salm, which housed the Légion-d'Honneur, in the aftermath of the Paris Commune, from the street. A large pile of bricks sits against the stone wall that separates the building, from the street. Public notices tacked to the wall can be seen on the left side of the image. Several figures stand on the terrace that runs along the edge of the building, with their backs facing the camera.
