AN OUTSTANDING IMPRESSION OF THE EXTREMELY RARE FIFTH STATE (of six).
This is the plate as Meryon finished it: the text was added by someone else. The book for which this plate was the intended frontispiece was never published.
ANNOTATED ("épreuve d'état") AND DATED ("9 avril 66") IN PENCIL BY MERYON.
On extremely fine laid paper.
In perfect condition.
