| Keywords: Marché des Innocents, 1855.jpg Artwork The Marché des Innocents was opened in 1788 in the place of what used to be Paris's largest cemetery the Cimetière des Innocents This market located in the first arrondissement served as a central location for Parisians to purchase various herbs and vegetables In addition to the hundreds of vendors the market also housed the occasional café and was at one time a place where homeless Parisians could go in the winter for a bowl of hot soup The Fontaine des Innocents originally erected in 1549 was transferred to the center of the market in the early 19th century Although highly decorative the fountain's four basins served as a sufficient source of water for the entire market The Marché des Innocents officially closed in 1858 to make way for the popular les Halles marketplace In 1865 the fontaine des Innocents was once again relocated to what is currently known as the Place des Innocents 1875-1882 lithograph 24 x 30 cm Institution Brown University Library object history exhibition history credit line Published in Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer Paris à travers les âges Paris Firmin-Didot et cie 1885 accession number 1120658070700016 PD-old Lithographs of Paris Images of Paris from the Brown University Library Paris à travers les âges Marché des Innocents Historical images of Fontaine des Innocents 1855 in Paris | ||||
