"This book is a route articulated around a dozen of Claude Monet's works presenting the river, maritime and port activities along the Seine. These world-famous works, become icons, are set in perspective against other regards, those of photographers, who, too, have been inspired by these subjects. A visual promenade thus follows from Paris to Le Havre through more than a hundred photographs by Gustave Le Gray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, André Kertész, Marcel Bovis, François Kollar, René-Jacques, Roger Parry, Jean Gaumy, John Davies and many others, such as these unpublished images of the port collections of Paris, Rouen and Le Havre."
