Henri Alexandre Saffrey's 1877 etching, "Gezicht op de toren van Saint-Laurent in Rouen," depicts a striking view of the Saint-Laurent church in Rouen, France. The detailed engraving, executed in a realistic style, captures the towering spire and the surrounding buildings, with a cloudy sky above. Saffrey, born in 1832, was a skilled artist known for his architectural drawings, and this print showcases his talent for capturing the intricate details of his subject. The composition's focus on the church's grandeur highlights its prominence in the city's skyline.
