Légende

Old bridge, Nuremberg, 1864. '...the Old-world city of Nuremberg...is rich in everything of the past, and owes nothing to the present...To find oneself there is to be thrown back 300 or 400 years, for it is a purely mediaeval city, surrounded by a wide ditch and feudal walls, the latter surmounted...by square and round towers, which are said to have been originally 365 in number. The streets speak of a generation long passed away. Here the eye rests on some gorgeous oriel of the most exquisite tracery; here, as we look up, we see the high-pitched roofs, with story on story of pointed dormers; here, again, some richly carved excrescence seems clinging to the eaves and rising high above them with its delicate spire...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
