The original street had tow names; rue Traînée, between the streets of Mont-Cenis and des Saules and « rue des Moulins », between the streets of Les Saules and Girardon. After Montmartre became a part of Paris in 1860; it officially joined the Paris road network by virtue of decree in 1863 and assumed the name Rue Norvins in 1868.

Provenance: Sarasota, Florida estate. William (Bill) Paxton 1930—2007 William Paxton, born August 5, 1930 in Lewiston, was one of Maine’s top selling artists. He had a passion for painting and from a young age he was known for his talents in sketching. Paxton captured many popular Maine scenes with watercolor, acrylic, and oils. His work also includes historical scenes he referenced in books from as early as the 1920’s, painting locomotives, aircraft, and war scenes. Paxton’s art is sold all over the world.

It states, “When artist Bill picks up his pen, we all stand at attention, for his remarks and pictures are certainly worth mention.” He wanted to pursue a career selling his art, but it was during the time of the Great Depression.
