Légende

St. Malo, 1858. 'St. Malo is a seaport, in the department of the Ille and Vilaine, on the small island of Aaron, which communicates with the continent by means of a mole. The entrance to the town at the end of the mole is strongly defended. There are also ramparts around the town; and on the north side it is inaccessible, in consequence of rocks and fortifications. It is of an oblong form. The principal public buildings, such as the cathedral, the townhall, and the episcopal palace, are situated in the market-place. The harbour is large, but difficult of access. It has a considerable trade, and carries on rather extensive manufactures of thread, woollens, and linen. The population is over 10,000'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
