Publisher's Synopsis
"About Paris," by Richard Harding Davis, illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson.
Aided by Mr. Gibson's illustrations, Mr. Davis describes Paris en fete, and Paris in mourning, the Paris of the boulevards and cafes, and the Paris of the side streets and little known quarters. Mr. Davis possesses the eye which seizes at once in new surroundings the things which will most interest the stay-at-homes, and his impressions are given in a manner calculated to afford a most vivid idea of the people, manners and customs described. His volume will attract both those who have never crossed the ocean and those whose walks "about Paris" have been many.
