Sand box, used to store sand used by city road cleaners for spreading on streets affected either by snow and ice, or by manure from horse drawn transport, on the Place Georges Guillaumin, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. Around the arch is the motto of the City of Paris, who paid for the sandbox, and the laurel and oak branches are the emblem of the city. It now serves as a ventilation chimney for the city road menders who have a cloakroom, toilet and kitchen underneath the square. From 1880, sand was replaced by salt. In the background is a statue of Honore Balzac, by Auguste Rodin. Picture by Manuel Cohen
