EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the enchanting streets of 19th century Paris. Created by Charles Meryon, this etching on chine collé beautifully captures the essence of both innovation and heritage art. In this image, we are transported to the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, where a magnificent water pump stands tall amidst its grandeur. The intricate details of the cathedral's architecture blend seamlessly with the scaffolding surrounding it, showcasing an intriguing juxtaposition between tradition and technology. Meryon's artistic prowess shines through as he skillfully portrays the bustling landscape of Ile de France. The River Seine flows gracefully in the background, symbolizing not only a geographical feature but also serving as a reminder of how water amenities played an essential role in sustaining life during that era. The eighth state out of ten prints adds depth to this artwork, revealing Meryon's dedication to perfecting his craft. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we can't help but feel connected to history and appreciate Meryon's contribution to French culture. This print serves as a testament to Christianity and religion's significance within French society at that time. It encapsulates not just a building or location but also represents faith and spirituality deeply rooted in Notre Dame Cathedral. As we gaze upon "The Notre-Dame Pump" let us be reminded of Charles Meryon's artistic brilliance
