"paris street, rainy weather"
gustave caillebotte, 1877
in paris at this time, fashion became an indicator of class, and personal beliefs. umbrellas were a bourgeois status symbol, and would be carried through the haussmannized streets of the modern city, but also into the interior city settings like the passages couverts and museums.
