The image depicts a piece of aged paper with a handwritten text in French. The paper's color is off-white with darker edges and a darker border around the text, and it appears to have a slightly wrinkled texture. The top of the page features the cursive text "A Monsieur EUGENE BLERY" in large letters. Below this, there are two short horizontal lines, one solid and one dotted. The main body of the text consists of 11 lines of smaller, cursive script. At the bottom of the page, there is a horizontal line with more cursive text underneath. The text appears to be a dedication or inscription, and the overall design suggests an 18th or 19th-century style. The image is attributed to Charles Meryon, titled "Verses to Eugène Bléry".
