EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This photo print, titled "La Morgue (3rd State, 9 1/8 x 8 1/8 Inches), 1854, (1927)", showcases the artistic brilliance of Charles Meryon. Taken from the book "Masters of Etching: Charles Meryon - No. 14", published by The Studio in London in 1927, this image captures a moment frozen in time. The scene unfolds outdoors against an urban backdrop in Paris during the late nineteenth century. A man stands amidst a bustling street with other background figures going about their day. The architectural facade behind him exudes a sense of history and character that is synonymous with French culture. The photograph's monochrome composition adds to its timeless appeal, emphasizing the intricate details etched by Meryon's skilled hand. The smoky chimney rising from one of the buildings further enhances the atmosphere and evokes a sense of pollution prevalent during that era. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported back to early twentieth-century France—a period marked by literature and art movements—where artists like Meryon sought inspiration from their surroundings to create thought-provoking pieces. With every brushstroke captured through etching techniques, Meryon invites us to ponder upon societal issues such as housing conditions and urbanization prevalent at that time. This print serves as a testament to his mastery as an artist while offering us glimpses into historical narratives that continue to resonate today
