About this work

A pen and ink wash drawing shows a row of timber-framed houses built over a river, with water wheels turning beneath them and a cathedral tower rising behind. In the foreground, several men in period dress strain against long poles on a grassy bank, while a figure in a long robe walks away at right and a small crowd watches from the left. This illustration by Luc-Olivier Merson dates from 1889 and is held by the Maisons de Victor Hugo Paris-Guernesey.
