CHARLES MERYON
Le Stryge.

Etching printed in brown on cream laid paper, 1853. 171x130 mm; 63/4x51/4 inches, wide margins. Sixth state (of 10), before the addition of the etched title and with the burnisher marks in the lower margin. Crowned coat-of-arms watermark. Marginal mat stain, well outside the plate mark. A very good, crisp impression of this early state with warm plate tone and all the finest lines printing clearly. Schneiderman 27.
