Not on view
This view in the French town of Evreux focuses on the clock tower, with vendors and customers filling the street below. Bonington produced the print for the multi-volume series directed by Baron Isidore Taylor, Charles Nodier and Alphonse de Cailleux titled "Voyages Pittoresques et Romantiques dans l'Ancienne France" (Picturesque and Romantic Travels through Historic France). This image appears in volume 2, devoted to Normandy. The title specifies that the tower was built in 1417 when the area was ruled by England.
