Title
Rouen
Description
Accompanying text reads:
"Like Innsbruck and Winchester, Rouen has the charm of an ancient capital with the surroundings of a country town. Here Joan of Arc was burnt and King John murdered Prince Arthur; the walls defied our Henry V in Agincourt year. Sea-going vessels steam 70 miles up the Seine - and it is one of the most beautiful river journeys in Europe - to the quay shown in the foreground of the drawing. Rouen has more precious heirlooms of medieval architecture than any other French city; it is "earthlier happy" in the possession of a good damp climate for spinning cotton, excellent shops, and a pleasant race-course, covered at present, by the tents and huts of a British military hospital, administered from the grand stand."
