Edmond
Yon (aka Edmond Charles Joseph Yon) (1836–1897)
“Bords De La
Maine” (Banks of the Maine), c.1880, a proof-state impression before lettering
for publication as plate 13 from the series, “L'Eau Forte en 1880”, published by
Alfred Cadart, from a volume of four years of “L'Eau-Forte” (see
description of the publication detals offered by the British Museum https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1915-0105-15-78
[BM 1915,0105.15.78]).
Etching with drypoint
on buff coloured fine laid paper with wide margins.
Size: (sheet)
35 x 49.8 cm; (plate) 23.8 x 31.5 cm; (image borderline) 19.7 x 27 cm.
Inscribed in
plate: (upper left corner) “E. Y.”
Inscribed in pencil
below the image borderline: (lower right) “E. Yon” (note that I do not know if
this inscription is by the artist or a note by a previous collector identifying
the artist); there are pencil inscriptions by a previous collector on verso.
Condition: a
strong and well printed impression with generously wide margins. There is minor
surface dustiness and a few marks in the margins, otherwise the sheet is in a good
condition.
