Description
A stooped figure in a hat, a tattered cloak, and carrying two axes on its shoulder is seen from behind walking toward a medieval-looking city with towers and spires silhouetted against the night sky.
The caption reads in the original French: Se transporte à Chinon, ville antique, voire première du monde.
Keywords: 1850s, 19th century, black & white, cityscape, medieval, night, walking
