| Notes |
(Text from 'From Manet to Toulouse-Lautrec', BM 1978, cat.69) Pissarro worked in Rouen on several occasions in the 1890s. The work on the lithographs is described in a letter of 6 February 1896: ']'ai fait venir des plaques de zinc avec couche de calcaire pour faire des lithographies de Rouen. J'ai commencé quelques croquis de vieilles rues que l'on fait disparaître .. . Si tu voyais la rue St. Romain, c'est épatant. J'espère que cela pourra avoir un certain intérêt.' He made eleven lithographs in all of which four show this same view of the rue Saint-Romain. The title and date prove the topographical and archaeological purpose of the print; the fact that he labels it as the first series suggests that he was intending to make further studies. Pissarro's love of old buildings could conflict with anarchist programmes. In 1902, after reading a pamphlet which attacked the restoration of medieval churches on the grounds that they were symbols of oppression, he wrote to Grave: 'Doit-on détruire les monuments gothiques, les chefs-d'oeuvre?? -Je ne le pense pas!' |

The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.  | ||||
