About This Book

A sequence of sketches and captions presents the city’s architectural and riverine landmarks, showing the cathedral, walls, bridges, castle, inns, and historic houses. Images move between wide street and waterfront views and close studies of cloisters, fireplaces, façades, and structural detail. The collection emphasizes textures, urban layout, and the relationship of built forms to the river, offering a visual tour of local character and historic fabric.
