EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us to the charming Rue de la Grosse Horloge in Rouen, Upper Normandy. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, captures the essence of this historic street with remarkable detail. The focal point of the print is undoubtedly the magnificent Grosse Horloge clock tower that proudly stands at its entrance. Its intricate design and grandeur are beautifully depicted, showcasing a testament to architectural brilliance. The surrounding buildings exude a sense of timeless elegance, with their half-timbered facades and ornate balconies. As we gaze upon this scene from another era, we can almost hear the echoes of footsteps on cobblestone streets and imagine horse-drawn carriages passing by. It's as if time has stood still in this picturesque corner of France. This particular print was featured in Robert Brown's book "The World Its Cities and Peoples" published by Cassell around 1885. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, it has been brought back to life for us to appreciate today. Whether you have a fondness for French culture or simply admire fine artistry, this enchanting engraving offers a glimpse into history that will surely captivate any viewer.
