Meryon MDCCCLII is written. The stone shows fossil snail shells and there is a tear at the word Paris. This title page is part of an album for twelve prints from a series of cityscapes in Paris. Meryon had intended to publish the series but these were never realized. He did print series for interested parties, such as in this case the Ministère de l'Intérieur. The twelve prints and the title page were brought together on the initiative of this ministry in the album that was given the title Eaux-Fortes sur Paris on the binding. In addition to the title page, the binding contains twelve empty insert sheets. The etchings have been removed from the album because of their fragility., print, title page, album, prints, recto lower right - stamped, recto attachment sheets - stamped, Ministère d
