- Description:
- This image is incorrectly identified on the mount as the Church of Saint Riquier in Abbeville. The photograph actually depicts another church in Abbeville, Saint Vulfran. The George Eastman House Museum of Photography and Film exhibited another print of this image in an exhibition en titled "This Edifice is Colossal: 19th Century Architectural Photography," in 1987. The Curator, Robert Sobieszek, attributed the image to the Bisson Brothers, Louis-Auguste and Auguste-Rosalie Bisson, and assigned it the date 1856.
