Légende

Ancient houses on the quay, Ghent, 1872. 'The public edifices of Ghent are worthy of admiration...The streets...are still more inviting, with the fantastic variety of shapes in the gable-fronted houses and the rich ornamental carvings. But the most interesting specimen of this kind may be found on the Quai aux Herbes, in the Maison des Bateliers, the house formerly occupied by the guild of watermen, whose emblems, with the arms of Charles V., are carved on the gables'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
