EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rouen Illustre: Les Nouveaux Quais-LIle La Croix, 1896" takes us back to the bustling streets of late 19th-century France. Created by the talented Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist known for his wood engravings, this piece captures the essence of Rouen's vibrant atmosphere. The image showcases the newly constructed quays and Ile La Croix in Rouen, a city famous for its rich history and picturesque landscapes. Lepere skillfully depicts the intricate details of the architecture and bridges that adorn this charming riverside scene. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, creating a sense of movement within stillness. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets while elegantly dressed pedestrians strolled along the riverbanks.

Preserved by The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this print serves as a window into France's cultural past. It reminds us of our shared human history and invites us to appreciate both artistry and architectural marvels from centuries gone by. With its timeless beauty captured through Lepere's skilled hand, "Rouen Illustre: Les Nouveaux Quais-LIle La Croix" continues to
