This black and white etching, titled "New Bridge Samaritaine under First Arch Exchange Bridge" takes us back to the enchanting streets of Paris in 1855. The renowned French artist Charles Meryon skillfully captures a unique perspective of two iconic landmarks - the New Bridge and the Samaritaine - as seen from beneath the graceful arches of the Exchange Bridge. The composition is a testament to Meryon's artistic prowess, as he masterfully plays with light and shadow to create a dramatic atmosphere. The intricate details of each architectural element are meticulously etched, showcasing Meryon's attention to precision and his deep understanding of perspective. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported to an era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very streets, and pedestrians strolled along the riverbanks. The New Bridge stands tall with its elegant design while the Samaritaine building exudes grandeur on its riverside perch. Meryon's etching not only serves as a visual documentation of these significant structures but also evokes a sense of nostalgia for Parisian life in the mid-19th century. It reminds us that even amidst progress and change, there will always be timeless beauty found within our urban landscapes. This stunning print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both Meryon's artistic talent and Paris' rich architectural heritage. It invites us to delve into history through art, reminding us that every brushstroke or etch can preserve moments that would
