The image is based on an earlier drawing by Charles Meryon and was created in 1861 using etching and drypoint techniques. Le Grand Chatelet stands tall against the backdrop of the bustling city, its imposing towers reaching towards the sky. This architectural marvel served as a symbol of strength and fortification, guarding the entrance to Paris for centuries. Its intricate details are beautifully captured in this engraving, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur even today. The artist's meticulous craftsmanship brings out every fine line and texture, creating a stunning visual representation of this historical landmark.
