Lamppost with leaning bar, Le Square Aristide-Cavaille-Col

Iron lamppost with a barre d'appui, or leaning bar, which was used by the lamplighter to lean his ladder against, when he was lighting or extinguishing the gas lamps each evening and early morning, in Le Square Aristide-Cavaille-Coll, in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, France. Only a few of the lamps still retain their leaning bar. The square itself, built in 1862, is listed as a historic monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
