[BAUDELAIRE (Charles)]. Photographic views of Honfleur in 1867. Set of 14 vintage oval-shaped albumin prints (16.5 x 12.5 cm approx.), mounted on white card with tinted background (30.7 x 23 cm). A very interesting series of panoramas and views of Honfleur taken by an anonymous photographer in the year of Baudelaire's death, showing the Neubourg district from the Côte de Grâce rise and the Calvaire de la côte de Grâce, the chapel of Notre-Dame de Grâce, the Lieutenance, the Hospice, the jetties and the Ursulines convent, the quays of Sainte-Catherine (three views), Saint-Étienne and des Fossés, the Saint-Léonard district, a panorama of Honfleur taken from the top of the quarries (Côte Vassal), etc. One of them is precisely dated: (7 January 1867), montée de la Côte de Grâce, view taken from the windows of Mr M. (Baudelaire spent his last months, hemiplegic and aphasic, in Dr Duval's nursing home in Paris, where he died on 31 August). The view taken from the Côte de Grâce rise shows Baudelaire's famous "maison-joujou", where the author of The Flowers of Evil stayed for a time - he composed several poems there, including Le Voyage and L'Albatros - and where he once planned to live ("my move to Honfleur has always been my dearest dream", he wrote to his mother). The villa, acquired by General Aupick in 1855, was demolished to enlarge the hospital in 1903. One of the views of the Quai Sainte-Catherine is freckled.
