Artist's Comments

Just for fun...
In the 1800's, there was a huge re-building of Paris to widen the streets and rework the city. This caused a lot of men to become "walkers" or "explorers" of the new city. They took their time, wandering the streets at a slow pace and admiring the scenery and atmostphere.
According to my Art History TA, there is a legend about a man who took his pet turtle on walks with him, and followed behind it, so that he would be sure to slow down and take his time.
Tada!
