Collection of the works of Charles Meryon; original drawings; proof etchings by Whistler and Waltner
This 1881 London catalogue from Christie, Manson & Woods, held by the Getty Research Institute, lists the etchings and drawings of Charles Meryon, along with proof prints by Whistler and Waltner, for collectors and dealers of fine art. The picture is a bookplate labelled ex libris R.W. Lloyd, showing a mountain ridge, a pickaxe and a beetle in an oval frame, with a ribbon banner beneath; its bold black-and-white linework offers a model for compact monogram-style emblem design.
