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. Note that payment is in Australian dollars (AU$287) as this is my
currency.
If you are interested in
purchasing this remarkably strong and soul-tingling etching of Paris, please
contact me (oz_jim@printsandprinciples.com) and I will send you a PayPal
invoice to make the payment easy.
