View of Barcelona

View of Barcelona, lithograph by Alfred Guesdon (c. 1868).

Aerial view of Barcelona during the second half of the nineteenth century. The port can be seen in the foreground, with the Barceloneta district on the right. The old, walled city is surrounded by the agricultural villages of the plain which would end up being integrated into the city at the end of the nineteenth century.
