Blue and Silver: Honfleur

Description

The Saturday Review, 25 April 1885, described it as 'a true impression of aerial, vaporous distance.' This hardly helps to identify it.

Site

Honfleur is a town with a busy harbour, at the mouth of the Seine. It is on the south side of the Seine, across from Le Havre.
