A young man is selling printed works on paper in a street in Paris. He holds a partially unfurled roll of paper, revealing its title: ‘Studies of the Lower Class or the Cries of Paris.’ This etching is a title plate for a series of etchings that Caylus made after drawings of Parisian street life by fellow artist Edme Bouchardon.
