Only one other copy of this rare image was noted in the catalogue, having just appeared on the market prior to its publication. This is clearly the superior print of the two. There is a major essay by Barthelemy Jobert on this photograph and another Le Gray image of the Pavé de Chailly, and Claude Monet's similar painting of the same name.
