Légende

On the Senne, Brussels, 1872. 'The city, which has a population of more than 300,000, including its suburbs, is divided into the upper, or New Town, and the lower, or Old Town, being partly built on a hill, 220 ft. above the sea-level, partly on flat ground, through which a muddy little river, called the Senne, winds its course...The Hotel de Ville, or Town Hall, a fine pile of Lombardo-Gothic building, was erected early in the fifteenth century. Its tower and spire, 360 ft. in height, surmounted by a gilt copper figure of St. Michael conquering the Dragon, were constructed by Jan van Ruysbroek'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
