Etchings of Paris: Death's Hostel

Charles Meryon

Cleveland Museum of Art

Two vertical, rectangular pieces of aged paper resembling old book pages. The pages have rough, uneven edges and a light beige color. The text on both pages is written in black ink and appears to be in French, with a calligraphic or cursive font. The writing on both pages is arranged in columns of varying line lengths. The left page has a decorative border at the top. The right page has no visible decorations. The text on both pages is dense and fills most of the available space. The pages are set against a slightly darker beige background that resembles paper texture.
