Catalogue Note

Nollé, originaire de Maestricht selon les catalogues de salon, s'est spécialisé dans les vues de villes. On connait de lui plusieurs vues de Paris qu'il présenta au salon dans les années 1830. Plus tard, il exposa aussi des portraits et des paysages.

Le port Saint Nicolas à Paris, était l'un des seuls ports situés en aval de l'île de la Cité. Les autres ports de Paris se trouvaient en amont à cause de nombreux ponts qui rendaient la circulation difficile. Le port Saint Nicolas commençait au Pont des Arts et finissait au Pont Royal. Il a changé de nom et s'est appelé le Port du Louvre à partir de 1905. C'était un port très important, qui recevait essentiellement les denrées alimentaires et le foin destiné à la cavalerie royale.
