About this work

This is a rough, aged title page with uneven edges. The words are carved into the paper in a jagged, uneven style. The text says *"Gravures sur Paris par Chénery"*—Paris etchings by someone named Chénery. The design looks hand-drawn, almost like the letters were scratched into the surface. The border has a rough, uneven line, too. The whole thing feels old and worn, like it’s been handled a lot. If you like this style, look up Charles Meryon.
