Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meryon and Meryon's Paris: With a Descriptive Catalogue of the Artist's Work Méryon's work, then, may be broadly divided into two classes: first, the work done mainly in his earliest time, after drawings of many subjects by old French and Other artists - Renier Zeeman, the Dutchman, was one of them - and second, the sometimes partly original, but oftener wkolly original work, in which best of all he recorded the characteristics of the Paris of his own day, and yet of the Middle Age, which were passing away under the improving hands of the Second Empire in its first years. There are also the New Zealand views, drawn if not etched very early, and the insignificant or bizarre fan cies of his latter days, when his mind declined; butsthe work of artistic interest is that in which he recorded Old Paris, and he did this well in the etchings which were copies of old drawings which his art and feeling had made into finer pictures, and supremely well in the etchings which werelwholly original.
