Vue intérieure de la Morgue en 1855 Hoffbauer 1839-1922 creator lithographs 1875-1882 1875 1882 fre 1 lithograph; 8 x 12 cm. A glimpse of the Paris Morgue's interior. The left wall of the entrance hall consisted of a row of windows through which guests could see the "salle d'exposition" where cadavers were laid out on iron tables, their clothes hung from thick iron hooks over their heads. The use of these hooks is a reminder of the building's previous incarnation as a butcher's shop.
