Bulletin

Amis des monuments rouennais · 1886 · Rouen : Impr. Lecerf fils · 21 pictures

This is a bulletin issued in 1886 at Rouen by the Amis des monuments rouennais, a society of local enthusiasts for the city's historic buildings, and it documents architecture in and around Rouen for members interested in its monuments. The plates are black-and-white photographs and engravings: a carved relief panel titled Le Commerce, an engraved street view of the Gros-Horloge and butcher shops, a Romanesque church with a tall spire, and a shadowy arcaded building interior. A designer might draw on their stone textures, arched openings and cropped architectural details for historical or heritage-themed work.
