Vienne is a Roman town on the Rhône in Isère, its streets climbing steeply from the river to the hills, and it rewarded nineteenth-century illustrators with temples, churches and ruins at every turn. The prints include the Temple of Augustus and Livia, the Roman monument called L'Aiguille, Saint-Maurice Cathedral, and the tower of Philippe de Valois with the old fort of La Bâtie, along with general views of 1844 and 1904. The maps are town plans of 1899, and of 1907 and 1914 sharing a sheet with Valence.
