This wood engraving by Auguste Louis Lepère depicts three important landmarks of Rouen, France: the museum, the Fountain of Saint Mary, and the Theatre of the Arts. The work exemplifies Lepère's mastery of the wood engraving medium, employing fine lines and careful tonal gradations to render architectural detail and urban space. As an illustrator and printmaker of the late 19th century, Lepère used this technique to document and celebrate the cultural and civic monuments of his native Normandy.
