Cityscape of Geneva

Jean-Gabriel Eynard made two views of Geneva , which together form a panorama of a section of his adopted city. He stood in the old city on the left bank of the Rhone River , looking toward the quays along the right bank. Here he focused on the wooded island named after the famous writer and philosopher of the 1700s, Jean Jacques Rousseau, a native of Geneva. To the far right, the lower end of Lake Geneva opens out from the Rhone River.
