Adolphe Yvon, “View of Paris from the Notre-Dame”, late 1800s

Adolphe Yvon (1817–1893)

“View of Paris from the Notre-Dame” (descriptive title only), late 1800s.

This is a very rare etching as I have been unable to find an impression in the Louvre collection or any of the major repositories. Nevertheless, I did find a pencil-signed impression to verify the name of the printmaker, Adolphe Yvon, at WorthPoint auctions: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-1800s-adolphe-yvon-original-504938253.  

Based on the description offered by WorthPoint Auctions, this print is number 9 in a series of architectural etchings.

Etching on heavy cream wove paper.

Size: (sheet) 21.3 x 30.7 cm; (plate) 14 x 19 cm; (image borderline) 12.6 x 17.5 cm.

Possibly a proof-state impression before numbering as plate 9.

Condition: a richly inked faultless impression in a near pristine condition with no tears, holes, folds, abrasions or stains.

I am selling this exceptionally rare and dramatic view of Paris from the rooftop of Notre-Dame for the total cost of AU$287 (currently US$193.41/EUR176.75/GBP148.24 at the time of posting this listing) including Express Mail (EMS) postage and handling to anywhere in the world, but not (of course) any import duties/taxes imposed by some countries.
