About the Item
Etching on laid paper
Signed and dated in plate lower left: P. E. Berthélemy
Published by Cadart & Luquet, Éditeurs, 79 Rue Richelieu, Paris
With the blindstamp of the Société des Aquafortistes, lower margin.
In Entrée du port de Courseulles à marée basse, Pierre-Émile Berthélemy portrays the quiet rhythm of life along the Norman coast. The scene captures the entrance to the small port of Courseulles-sur-Mer at low tide: ships rest tilted on the sandbanks, their tall masts rising like delicate tracery against a vast, luminous sky. Two figures and a dog occupy the foreground, their presence emphasizing the calm stillness of the harbor.
Berthélemy’s linework is crisp yet lyrical, balancing topographical precision with atmospheric subtlety. The artist’s use of fine cross-hatching creates delicate tonal gradations in the sky and water, while the strong verticals of the masts and wooden structures establish compositional balance. This etching exemplifies his mastery of marine and harbor subjects — capturing not dramatic movement but the contemplative poetry of maritime labor and waiting.
Excellent impression on laid paper, with full margins. Minor time toning and faint foxing in outer areas, otherwise fine condition.
A talented painter and printmaker, Pierre-Émile Berthélemy was active within the Société des Aquafortistes, contributing several marine subjects that attest to his deep engagement with coastal life in Normandy and Brittany. His etchings, published by Cadart & Luquet, reflect both his rigorous drawing skill and his poetic vision of the sea. Entrée du port de Courseulles à marée basse is a prime example of his sensitive observation of nature and his subtle rendering of atmosphere — qualities that align him with contemporaries like Daubigny and Lalanne in their pursuit of natural truth through the etched line.

The Port Of Bordeaux, France In Winter: A 19th C. Etching by Maxime Lalanne
By Maxime Lalanne
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a mid 19th century etching entitled "Rade de Bordeaux, Janvier" (Port Of Bordeaux In Winter), etched by Phillip Gilbert Hamerton after a drawing by Maxime Lalanne in London in 1868. The etching depicts many boats in the busy harbor of Bordeaux, including small sailboats, as well as tall ships. Another harbor is seen in the distance across the river on the left. Snow covered buildings are on the left and extending long distances in the distant background. Many people occupy the road and ground centrally and on the left along with some horses or mules attached to carts. The sky is a wintery gray.
This etching is an excellent impression printed on thick chain-linked, laid, deckle-edge paper with wide margins, watermarked with a 2 in the lower left corner. It is signed in the plate in the lower left, the title and date are in the center and Bordeaux and the year are included in script along the top of a wall in the lower left of the engraving. The sheet measures 8.75" high by 12" wide. The print is in excellent condition. This etching is held by many museums and institutions, including The National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.
François Antoine Maxime Lalanne (1827-1886) was a leading French etcher and painter of landscapes and urban views, who was at the forefront of the French revival of etching during the 1860's. He grew up in Bordeaux, but he refined his artistic skills and worked in Paris. His art was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1852 and he continued to regularly show both etchings and paintings there until the mid 1880's. He was also the author of several important books on the subjects of etching and other graphic arts. He was a founding member of the Societe des Aquafortistes, along with Auguste Delatre, Cadart, Ribot and Bracquemond. Lalanne created over one hundred and fifty fine etchings. Lalanne's unique style of art influenced many French and English artists in the twentieth century.
Philip Gilbert Hamerton (1834-1894) was a British artist, art critic and author. He was particularly focussed on contemporary graphic art and printmaking techniques. He frequently wrote about the theory of the English Etching...

The Beach in Normandy, France, Near Bayeux: A 19th C. Etching by Maxime Lalanne
By Maxime Lalanne
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a mid 19th century etching entitled "Point de Depart de Guillaume de Normandie, Beuzeval, Emboucher de la Dives Calvados (The point of departure of William of Normandy (William the Conqueror)), created by Maxime Lalanne and published in 'L'Illustration Nouvelle' in 1868 by Alfred Cadart. The etching depicts the beach at Beuzeval in Normandy; with the shore in the foreground on the right lined by a row of houses, the sea at the left, and an expansive sky above. There are people on the beach and sailboats in the water. This is the point of departure of William the Conqueror for his voyage to England in 1066, resulting in his victory over the Anglo-Saxons at the Battle of Hastings and the establishment of Norman rule. The events are memorialized in the Bayeux tapestry, created by William's wife.
This etching is presented in a white mat that is suitable for framing. This excellent impression is printed on thick chain-linked, laid cream-colored paper with wide margins. It is signed in plate in the lower right and titled in the plate in the lower left. There is a collector's stamp (either an "NC" or a "CN") in the lower right corner. The sheet measures 9.5" high by 12.75" wide and the mat measures 13.5" high by 16" wide. There are two tiny faint spots in the periphery of the upper margin, but the print is otherwise in excellent condition.
