This is a handwritten poem on aged paper, the ink slightly faded. The words are cramped in uneven lines, filling almost every inch of the page. At the top, a title reads *"Etchings of Paris"* with a dedication to *"Reynier Nooms"* in messy script. The poem’s subject is about Paris streets and water, written in French. The paper’s edges are worn, and the bottom has a faint signature: *"C. Meryon"* with a date-like mark. Look up Charles Meryon next.
