The top photos and paintings are of Montmartre in 1925, typical street scenes of Paris in the '20s: A narrow street in Montmartre, The Moulin Rouge, and a Montmartre street scene painted by Utrillo. Next, a photo of 1920s Paris, an uphill shot so typical of Montmartre.
Then, "The Old Book Man" looking for a bargain perhaps at the bookstalls on the banks of the Seine, where Hemingway shopped.

Hey Paul!
Love the pictures. The first one looks like a postcare, the second one is so very interesting!
We've been crazy busy with the Holiday season but hope to stop by here again soon!

Thanks for the visit, Kay Ellen!
Hi Karla & Karrie - have a good holiday if I don't see you before then!
I suppose the books must be quite cheap. I like good books with cheap prices. that's why I love shopping for book in Payless Book Shop! ( I wonder you have this kind of book store at your place;))
Hi Elwin, thanks for stopping by.
I've never heard of Payless Books in my part of the US, anyway.
These shot were soul food tonight. Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments in time!
Beautiful photos of days long ago,
the black & white images are always so touching. . .how I think of him in war time, wandering around in dust & debris. . .

Thank you Claudia for the visit - I love the pics of the kitten!
Hello Michelle, thanks for being a fan!
Love these photos! The bookstalls look very much the same today. I've purchased postcards at these stalls and brought them home to frame. Great stuff!
I must say I am intrigued by the old man browsing there.... ;)
-Hi Kate, thanks for stopping by.
-Hello Shionge, long time!!
Hey...hope you are not on a hunger strike now ;)
LOL, hi Shionge, no I can eat again, you're back :-)
Marvellous pictures
Glad the card got through
oh? shoes? cool. I bet you can get one or two pairs of Jimmy Choo's (if you know what "jimmy Choo's' means *wink wink*). hehe.
Only if Jimmy has never worn them, Elwin!
Great pictures, it is a shame Montmartre nowadays is one big touristtrap swarmed with, well eh tourists..
I guess we have Hemingway and Toulouse-Lautrec - and others - to blame for that :-)
Wonderful old shots like these are such gems! When do things change? I can just see Hemingway sifting through those stacks of books and papers. I wonder what goodies were in there?
Hello Marc, always good to see you here! Thanks for the visit!
