The Emperor's Kiosk (1857) created by Gabriel Davioud as the first structure in the Bois de Boulogne which was a park gifted by Napoleon III to the city of Paris in 1852. Davioud was an important architect, who worked closely with Haussmann, designing all of the Parisian "street furniture" such as kiosks, lamps, benches, fences, monuments, the fountain at Place Saint-Michel and the Théâtre de la Ville, to name a few. This 1858 photograph is by Charles Marville, hired by Haussmann to document the city's transformation.
