Duruisseau

Duruisseau is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

This 19th-century printmaker fills tiny paper rectangles with city life you can almost smell. Look at H Beard Print Collection, where top-hatted figures jostle past gas-lit pubs and muddy alleyways, or a drayman’s cart creaks past a crooked shopfront. One plate shows a crossing-sweeper in a red waistcoat, broom at the ready, while another captures a hackney cab splashing through puddles near Waterloo Bridge.

Every inch hums with the noise and grime of the age. Tap the bridge to step inside the scene.
