Méryon

Méryon, CHARLES, etcher, was born at Paris, the son of an English physician, in 1821, and died insane at Charenton Asylum, 13th February 1868. His sombre and imaginative etchings of streets and buildings in Paris are highly esteemed by connoisseurs, especially the 'Abside de Notre Dame,' 'Rue des Mauvais Garçons,' and 'Stryge.' See Wedmore in Nineteenth Century (1878) and Art Journal (1881), and Burty's monograph (1879).
