A beautiful set: these four large sepia photographs detailed in well-gilded frames with beautiful molding. Henri Delécluse in Lille made them and especially in this large marine format, a beautiful print with great detail from Marseille, Lyon, Nice and Monaco, around 1880; printed in small numbers, the views are with their black and gold period “Marie Louise” with the title. We see the remarkable evolution of these cities such as Monaco at the end of the 19th century was still a fishing village & Marseille with its intact Fort Saint Jean, Nice with its famous Casino pontoon and Lyon with its suspended footbridge and its four piers. Panorama of Marseille (view taken from the Palais du Pharo) Panorama of Lyon (view taken from the peninsula), Panorama of Nice (view taken from the old fort) & of Monaco (view taken from the overlooking Cliffs). A very beautiful set of beautiful and rare photos, in good condition to relive the past, of certain decorative interest because they are large, clean and in beautiful large gilded molded frames
