Summary

Description
Français : Cette vue du port de Brest, à marée haute, date de 1858 (un an avant la visite de Napoléon III). Sur cette photographie on peut voir de nombreux navires à quai. La ville de Brest n’est pas encore reliée à Recouvrance par le pont nationale* et les quais sont ouvert à tous. On observe au premier plan, dans la partie basse des fortifications, une vingtaine de personnes. Une série de canons sont à poste sur la batterie aux Roses. Le photographe, Gustave Le Gray, s’est rapproché au maximum du sujet pour donner force et majesté à l’entrée du port. Ce cliché fait partie des plus anciennes photographies montrant la ville. Il s’agit d’un ambrotype.
