La Tour St. Jacques La Boucherie à Paris, ca. 1867, Albumen silver print from glass negative, 40.7 x 30.6 cm. (16 x 12 1/16 in.), Photographs, Charles Soulier (French, 1840–1875), The freestanding Tour Saint-Jacques that one sees today in a park just off the rue de Rivoli in the heart of Paris is all that remains of the Gothic church of Saint-Jacques la Boucherie. Built between 1508 and 1522, the tower lost its statuary and its dozen bells during the Revolution, but its basic fabric escaped the demolition visited upon the rest of the church
