拍品专文

Dating from the 16th century, the Inn of William the Conqueror is located on the Normandy coast in the village of Dives-sur-Mer. By the late 19th century, it was a popular destination for the nobility and political and creative minds of the era. The Inn was a particularly favorite subject of Francis Hopkinson Smith, also serving as the setting of his 1912 novel The Arm-Chair at the Inn.
