About the Item
A fine and early state impression from an almost unparralled 19th century Parisian collection curated by Loys Delteil.
Etching, drypoint, and roulette on buff laid Japon paper, 5 7/16 x 9 13/16 inches (137 × 249 mm) full margins. In very good condition with light and unobtrusive scattered foxing. Some pencil inscriptions in the margins, recto, as well as the Alfred Beurdeley collection stamp (Lugt 421) in black ink in the lower left margin on the recto. There are some light scattered inscriptions in pencil on the verso, as well as a numerical stamp in blue ink, which we believe is the lot number from part III of a well-known series of sales of Beurdeley's collection organized by Loys Delteil. This portion of the sale of Beurdeley's massive collection focused on Modern Prints, and took place on May 19 – 20, 1920, in Paris. In regard to the content of the sale, Fritz Lugt states "Meryon's work included all the beautiful pieces about Paris." A rich and tonal impression.
[Delteil & Wright 9; Schneiderman 12].
A note on the provenance:
Alfred Beurdeley (1847-1919) was the son of one of the first antique dealers in Paris. He formed a rich collection of books, drawings of architecture, and ornaments, some of which he sold to Russia, and which forms the holdings of the Stieglitz Museum in St. Petersburg.
Beurdeley amassed a large collection of ancient and modern paintings and drawings from all schools, his personal collection was remarkably rich in works by masters of the 19th and 20th centuries, represented by more than 1,300 drawings. His drawings, old or modern, were not kept in boxes, but framed, and literally covered all the walls of his home at 79 rue de Clichy, Paris, including the living rooms, bedrooms, the grand staircase, and even the back staircase. Of all his collections the one that best reflected his personality was perhaps his collection of prints from the 19th and 20th centuries. It included no less than 28,000 pieces, collected one by one, through purchases from Parisian dealers. From 1906 until 1910 Beurdeley undertook to get his collections in order, and he had detailed catalogs drawn up (unpublished), the most complete being that of the prints. These prints filled a hundred large portfolios, and were kept in the room where Beurdeley preferred to stay and which he called his "Library," because it also contained his books on the fine arts (around 3000 volumes). Around 1912, in order to obtain funds to improve and complete his gallery of paintings and especially his collection of modern drawings, he decided to divest himself of his prints. The sales, which took place in 15 parts, were curated by the expert Loys Delteil, and commenced on March 8, 1913. The 15th and final part of the sale occurred three years after Beurdeley's death, in June of 1921.

Charles Meryon
Charles Méryon was a French engraver, painter, draftsman and poet. He lived an adventurous life and traveled often as a Marine before dedicating himself exclusively to engraving from 1848. He engraved 72 plates on Paris, some of which, like Tour de l’Horloge, published by the important Parisian magazine L’Artiste. He realized mainly architectures, seascapes, scenes with ornithological subjects and some portraits. His prints are characterized by a rigorous game of intersecting lines, by a precision deserving of a naval draftsman, by a bold chiaroscuro with dramatic effects and romantic fantasies. He often included captions in verses in his engravings.

The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge
By Alfred Benjamin Cole
Located in Middletown, NY
After Giovanni Antonio Canal, called Canaletto
Copper plate engraving with hand coloring on cream laid paper with the Arms of France watermark (a crown in shield topped by a fleur-de-lys and the letters GR), 22 3/4 x 15 3/4 inches (576 x 400 mm), wide to full margins. Multiple vertical and horizontal creases from folding and rolling; none appear to be particularly hard, there is however some associated cockeling. While there is some minor mat tone visible around the perimeter of the sheet, the extensive handcoloring remains extremely fresh and saturated in the intended areas. There are edge tears at each the right and left sheet edge (outside of the image area) due to an improper effort to mount the sheet to a mat. Otherwise in very good condition with all issues being consistent with age.
The print is wrongly titled "The South East Prospect of Westminster Bridge...
