View of Mantes in the evening, Le Soir, à Mantes, photomechanical print, photographer: Achille Darnis, Limay, cliché maker: Fillon & Heuse, printer (person): Charles Wittmann, Paris, c. 1891 - in or before 1896, printer (person), paper, photoaquatint, height 129 mm x width 199 mm, city-view in general, 'veduta', river, dusk, evening twilight, Seine, Mantes-la-Jolie, A riverside scene in a muted monochrome palette shows a calm body of water in the foreground with gentle ripples reflecting dark vertical shapes. Across the water a low town silhouette stretches along the bank with clustered buildings and varied rooflines. A large structure with twin tower-like forms rises above the other buildings near the center, its vertical outlines mirrored faintly in the water. Trees and taller vegetation frame the right edge of the image as darker masses, and a broad sky occupies the upper portion with soft, diffuse cloud tones.
