Description
This is one of six engravings that were published in the portfolio, Paysages urbains (Cityscapes) in 1930. The engravings were printed by Paul Haasen and the portfolio was published by Editions des Quatre Chemins. Black and Moorhead list this engraving as Rue de la Villette and the title Berges du Canal does not appear in the index of titles. The title is written in the hand of Hayter and Black and Moorhead state that the individual prints in the portfolio were published without titles and that titles were assigned by Hayter much later to aid in identification.
