Meryon's Tiny Bridge1986

Not on view
Closed hardcover book with off-white cover and sparse Japanese text, photographed on a white surface at a slight diagonal angle
Etching of a Parisian urban landscape with a stone arched bridge spanning a river in the foreground, tall multi-story buildings along the left bank, and the twin Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral rising prominently in the background. Small figures and a boat animate the waterway below, rendered in fine cross-hatched linework.
Etching of a Gothic cathedral viewed across a river, with a stone bridge in the middle ground, a horse-drawn cart on the near bank, and moored boats at lower right; dramatic cross-hatched sky with billowing clouds; letterpress text along the bottom edge.
Black and white enprint depicting a Gothic cathedral on an island city, viewed from the river, with two small boats carrying figures in the foreground, a stone bridge at left, and a dramatic cloudy sky; fine crosshatched line work throughout.
Black and white print of a Gothic cathedral with multiple spires dominating a riverside cityscape, dramatic clouds above; in the foreground, figures unload goods along a stone quay, with an arched bridge visible at right.
Etching of a riverfront water pump station with a tall square tower rising above an open timber framework structure on the water, small boats nearby, and a dense cityscape with a stone bridge arch in the background; fine cross-hatched linework with handwritten text below reading "La Pompe Notre Dame" and a date of 1839.
Lithograph or charcoal drawing, a bearded man reclines in a bed, propped on one elbow, with a shadowy figure seated nearby at left; heavy, expressive mark-making creates strong contrasts of light and dark.
Etching or engraving of a narrow urban passageway with a stone archway, multi-story timber-framed buildings, and dense crosshatched linework in black and white.
