Rouen, 16 May 1843, France

I think it's great that Fox Talbot was so ahead of his time - "This photo was taken some time in 1843 using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II.". :-) On a more serious note, is that a ships mast and rigging through the window ?

Chris Samuel 16 May 1843 = "some time in 1843"? :) Looks like masts and rigging to me too.

Taken by Talbot on the same day - The Suspension Bridge at Rouen, France

Yes, Rouen has always been a port town, although located inside France.

Corneille's house, Rouen (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Harry Angstrom said:
French dramatist Pierre Corneille was born in Rouen in 1606. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Corneille From another site: French dramatist and poet, born at Rouen, in the Rue de la Pie, on the 6th of June 1606. The house, which was long preserved, was destroyed in the 19th century. www.nndb.com/people/159/000025084/ And from the NYTimes: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A07E2D91531E733A...
The Library of Congress said:
Decided to track down visual confirmation, given the conflicting references to his house being destroyed in 1800s vs. a house confirmed as Corneille's in 1906. The Bain photo matches this view of a museum in France, founded in 1879. See (1) www.corneille.org/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=69 and (2) www.sibmas.org/idpac/europe/frp006.html Visiblanda: Thanks for the museum's location!

The father of Corneille bought the House in 1608. The place is not Rouen, but Petit Couronne,10 Km of Rouen. It was intended as second residence. The main House was at Rouen, but no longer exists. www.seinemaritime.net/musees_detail_departement_seine-mar...

This is the square where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake in 1430. According to saint-joan-of-arc.com/rouen.htm there is now a modern church (completed in 1979) that is dedicated to her. A brief chronology and bio is at www.jeanne-darc.info/p_jeanne/overview.html

A postcard advertised on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/Rouen-Statue-de-Jeanne-dArc-Vintage-Post... shows the statue and square looking quite similar. The seller does not provide a date for the postcard.

A possibly more reliable link is to a digitized photochrom of the statue at www.superstock.com/preview.asp?image=4048-3261&imagex...
