The view is from the Place du Martroi looking east. The roof of the church of Saint-Pierre du Martroi is in the mid foreground while the towers of the west facade of the cathedral of Sainte-Croix are on the horizon.
There is a pencil notation in the right margin, likely made by Talbot in order to identify which side was sensitized.
The verso is blank.
