The photographic technology was such that the lens had to be kept open for a few minutes to capture enough light. Even though this was one of the busiest streets at the time, the only person who happened to stay in one place long enough to be captured in the picture was the man getting his shoe shined—the shoe-shiner himself moved around enough in his spot to end up as a blur to the right of the stationary man.

wearing some kind of hat and a coat/jacket maybe... it was probably green. Feels like a green.

Wow a Kodak moment. Amazing to see France as it was many ages ago before the muzzies started to move in.

Aren't there two people sitting at a table to the shiner's right. Closer to the building; playing dominoes or chess or???

To add some historical context...

In 1837, Andrew Jackson was president.

In 1838, Samuel Morse first demonstrated the telegraph.

In 1838, Queen Victoria was coronated at age 18.

Snip:
The exposure time for the image was around seven minutes, and although the street would have been busy with traffic and pedestrians, it appears deserted. Everything moving was too fast to register on the plate.
The exception is the man at the lower-left who sat still long enough to appear in the photograph. The person cleaning his boots is also visible, although not as distinctly.

Very interesting.
