Roman gates, medieval town halls and cathedral interiors fill prints from Histoire des Villes de France, Aristide Guilbert's history of French cities, published in Paris by Furne, Perrotin and Fournier, here in the 1844 issue. The plates range from northern cathedral towns to Brittany, Burgundy, the Loire and the south, with the Roman remains of Nîmes, Autun and Besançon, the church at Brou and the town halls of Arras and Compiègne. Castles, tombs, gateways and old streets join the churches, general prospects show towns in their landscape, and regional maps group the towns within France.
