24, rue Norvins
1927
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg captured this quiet, atmospheric corner of Montmartre in 1927, long after he had retired from his bustling career designing grand Stockholm buildings. The sketch of 24 Rue Norvins feels like a secret snapshot of Paris, with its tall, narrow buildings framing a glimpse of leafy trees and a distant rooftop. Boberg was known for his detailed architectural drawings, and here he uses soft shading to give the quiet street a dreamy, almost nostalgic quality. It's a charming reminder that even famous architects love to just sit and sketch the world around them.
