Theophile Steinlen artwork entitled The Crossing Sweepers.

---

1912 Caption - THE CROSSING-SWEEPERS. Early morning, the wonderful moment when night wakes into day. Behind that great building which resembles the Opera, the sky is reddening. In the foreground a humorous scene is being enacted. Two crossing-sweepers, old friends, meet by chance for the first time after many years of separation. The result — for we are in France — is obvious.
