Lynne they are amazing, I wonder how of Rouen is still the same. You could have a good time editing these.

Well, these were taken before WWII so that’s a good question,
Gilly, as to how much has survived. But I know that St Malo for instance did a remarkable job of restoration.after devastating damage. I once saw some remarkable images on a Russian blog of composite photos where one half was the old photo and the other half current day. Very effective.
