On the canal, Abbeville, 1871. Engraving showing '...several old and characteristic houses which span various parts of the canal or river...Dark and weirdlike are they, and one cannot help speculating as to what their original inhabitants were, and whether this amphibious predilection encourages the "evolution'' theory, that man has been derived from a fish, or whether this choice of a superaqueous habitation is a cropping out of the instinct that animated the lake-dwellers of a long-forgotten past'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
