Since they neglect to show you the full, actual photo.

Why TF would they not show the original??!

Very interesting to see what the streets of a city looked like 200 years ago

For the record this is the actual photo discussed in the article

  I am immortal
  staring at a working boy
  "rub my shiny shoes!"

Paywalled :(

I didn't notice. I have JS disabled and it just works.

And also seemingly they put the worst possible version of the photo? Wikipedia has much better versions on the right-hand side: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulevard_du_Temple_(photograp...

Why not pay for it then?

I did but not all HN readers can.

> I did but not all HN readers can.

Assuming HN is full of employees of technology companies and industries around the world.

Are you saying to me that the average software engineer can't afford $5 a month to a publication?

Yes

Why do you think this is the situation for everyone here? Wtf.
