Did you know that that famous image of Cosette from the Les Miserables poster is actually taken from a much larger work?

It's one of the plates from the original edition of Les Mis (1862) and was created by Emile Bayard.


It's a wonderful engraving, of course, but the poor girl only looks to be about 18 inches tall!

They still use those kind of brooms in Paris, only now they're made of green plastic.
