Digital image of an early photograph taken of Paris from the Pont Neuf, the oldest standing bridge crossing the river Seine, in 1840.

In his many travels, Lyon often visited Paris, where he would conduct a large portion of his business buying merchandise and negotiating prices. He sometimes complained about going to Paris, as the journey could easily be strained by bad weather ravaging his open carriage. Lyon also failed to fully grasp Parisian culture and the French language. This image of Paris reflects the state of the city as Lyon would have seen it.
