From the posters seen on the wall announcing concerts for June 7, 1898, we can date this image to May of the same year. Of particular interest within the history of photography and cinematography are the posters for the Magasins Dufayel announcing the CinÈmatographe LumiËre and the Spectacles de Rayons-X (X-rays).
