Buhot was known for creating unusual borders, usually around cityscapes such as these. In what he called “anecdotal margins,” figures or events connect to the main image: Parisian pedestrians and shoppers appear inconvenienced by winter weather, while the border paints a harsher picture, with horses frozen to death and men standing around a burning barrel to stay warm.
