This is a rough, torn piece of paper with jagged edges. Black ink spells out words in uneven, broken letters: *"Eaux-fortes sur Paris"* at the top, followed by *"C. Meryon"* and *"E. Gosselin fecit"* near the bottom. The text looks hand-drawn, almost like it was scratched into the paper. There’s a small sketch of a tree or plant in the middle, but it’s faint and hard to make out. The name *C. Meryon* refers to another artist who made etchings of Paris, but here the focus is on *E. Gosselin* as the maker. The torn edges and rough style make it feel old and worn. Look up Edmond Gosselin (French) next to see more of his work.
