Limited Deluxe edition of the catalogue raisonné of the works of Charles Meryon (1821-1868), a renown French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he suffered from color blindness. Meryon is generally recognized as the most significant etcher of 19th-century France. His most important work, a series of views of Paris, depict a city on the eve of Haussmannization, and an increasingly industrialized cityscape.

This work is splendidly illustrated throughout with numerous in-text and full-page illustrations, as well as 32 hors-text, including one folded in full color, and one double plate.

One of 100 copies of the Deluxe edition, of which this copy is out of series.
