The Dawn, plate fourteen from Le Long de la Seine et des Boulevards Possibly 1890 - 1910

"The Dawn" is a black and white etching by Auguste-Louis Lepère from the suite "Le Long de la Seine et des Boulevards." The print depicts a panoramic view of the Seine River in Paris, with the Eiffel Tower prominently featured in the background. The image captures the beauty of the city at sunrise, with a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. Lepère was a master of etching, and his work is characterized by its delicate lines and subtle shading. "The Dawn" is a testament to his skill as an artist and a beautiful depiction of Paris in the late 19th or early 20th century. The Art Institute of Chicago holds this print.
