EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "La Morgue, c1841-1868 (1924)" by Charles Meryon offers a haunting glimpse into 19th century France. The image is part of the collection found in A History of French Etching from the 16th Century to the Present Day, published in London in 1924. The etching depicts an elevated view of La Morgue, a significant building that played a crucial role in French society during that time. Located within a bustling cityscape, this architectural marvel stands tall with its distinctive chimney emitting smoke into the sky. The panorama showcases both the urban landscape and the community it serves. Meryon's meticulous attention to detail brings forth an eerie atmosphere as he captures this historical site associated with death and mourning. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its somber tone while emphasizing every intricate line etched onto paper. Through this artwork, Meryon invites viewers to reflect on life's fragility and contemplate their own mortality. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and how communities come together during times of loss. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the early 20th century, we are transported back in time to witness an essential chapter in French history through Meryon's masterful technique and artistic vision.
