Impasse de l’Essai (du marché aux chevaux) (Impasse de l’Essai from the Horse Market) (fifth arrondissement)
Charles Marville French
The horse market that Marville photographed several times featured the artificial Impasse de l’Essai (“try-out alley”), named after its purpose as a place where potential buyers could test an animal’s ability to pull heavy weight uphill.
