EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Mortuary, Paris (La Morgue)" in 1854, a hauntingly beautiful piece of architecture by Charles Meryon. The image showcases the exterior of this iconic building located on the quay of the River Seine in Paris, France. Meryon's etching and drypoint technique on laid paper brings out every intricate detail of the mortuary's design. The chimneys emit smoke into the sky, creating an eerie atmosphere that perfectly complements its purpose as a place for identifying and displaying deceased bodies. The photograph transports us back to 19th-century France, where death was both feared and revered. It serves as a reminder of our mortality while highlighting Meryon's exceptional artistic talent in capturing such somber subject matter.
