methodology


eventually, this page will feature not only illustrations of how I have gone about researching, map in hand, but also a more theoretical grounding for my activities


  • narrative of an identification, 1: Le Pont du Nord
  • narrative of an identification, 2: A bout de souffle
  • narrative of an identification, 3: L'Enfant de Paris
  • for basic illustrations of plotting locations on Google Maps, in films by R.W. Paul, see here and here and here; further RWP locations identified here and here and here and here and here (on this last page are maps of the locale from 1896 and 1913).
