Titled by the artist: "Le Tréport. Le port à Marée basse, avec la grande falaise de Mers à droite dans le fond", verso. Hippolyte Blancard reserved his delicate platinum prints to his friends. However, research on his rare work should start within three Paris public collections: Carnavalet, BNF, BHVP (Cf. Jacques Poisson, De l'iodure de fer au bromure d'argent : Hippolyte Blancard pharmacien et photographe, Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie, 2007).
