The Admiralty, Paris by Charles Meryon. The image shows a black and white drawing of a large building with columns on the left side and people and horse-drawn carriages on the street in front of it. The building has two rows of columns on the front and a flat roof. There are several windows on the front of the building and a decorative roofline. In the background, there is another large building with a triangular roof. The sky is cloudy with several flying objects including winged horses and chariots. The scene appears to be a fantastical depiction of a real-world location. The bottom of the image has text that reads "MINISTERE DE LA MARINE".
