Description:

Within the International Exhibition in Paris, 1878, commercial activities typical of the colony were performed in the park next to Trocadero Pavilion This scene shows a refreshing small space that the author used to depict the tradition of sharing a couscous with friends or work colleagues. The recreation of an – even only hypothetically - typical setting had to include also works and related activities.
