Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Presented to the University Library University of California San Diego In Lower Limoges, at the corner of Rue de la Vieille-Poste and Rue de la Cite, there stood, thirty years ago, one of those shops in which nothing seems to have been changed since the Middle Ages. Huge flagstones, broken in a thousand places, laid upon the ground which showed damp in spots, would have caused the fall of anybody who had failed to notice the depressions and elevations of that strange flooring. The dusty walls exhibited a curious mixture of wood and brick, stone and iron, thrown together with a solidity due to age, perhaps to chance. For more than a hundred years, the ceiling, consisting of enormous timbers, had bent without breaking beneath the weight of the upper floors. Those floors, built en colombage, were covered on the outside with slates nailed in such way as to represent geometrical figures, and presented an ingenuous type of the bourgeois structures of the olden time.
