Rubbing Lyon

Have taken some rubbings in Lyon. Our hotel room on the fourth floor has 3 windows, 2 with access to a very small balcony. The window looking towards Bellecour Square had a good design on the railing for a rubbing.
Yesterday the farmers had a protest and blocked off traffic around the square with their tractors and trucks and had a noisy march, waving flags and shooting off crackers or pop guns.
I was lucky to have these old printing wood blocks in the room as decoration, so they got the treatment too. Would have been used in the silk industry.
