Bibliothèque nationale de France, back wall of the salle Labrouste

During my research leave, I had the good fortune to be able to work in the recently restored salle Labrouste, a department in the Bibliothèque nationale de France's central "Richelieu" site. This photo was taken as I was leaving the reading room on June 28, 2023. I had been reading a 1908 book by Judith Cladel (1873-1958), a rare copy of a richly illustrated book she wrote about the sculptor, Auguste Rodin.
The inside of the French National Library with the high ceilings, arches and shelves of books with students sitting at computers on the main floor.
