The Café Turc, designed to adhere to a "Turkish style", was opened in 1780 on the boulevard du Temple, and consisted of a large garden featuring illuminated spectacles in the evening. Parisian cafés were popular gathering places throughout the 19th century. In 1831, when this engraving was made, there were an estimated 787 cafés in the city that attracted Parisians and tourists alike. However, the Café Turc's popularity diminished around this time, at the beginning of Louis-Philippe's reign. It eventually lost its novelty and became just another Parisian restaurant.</div>
