The Clock Tower, Charles Meryon, 1852, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings
When Meryon etched this plate, the tower was being restored and was partly covered with scaffolding. The tower is situated at the point where the Pont-au-Change intersects with the Ile de la Cité. The massive structure dwarfs the teeming crowds on the bridge as well as the heavily laden barge under one of the arches. Size: 9 13/16 x 7 3/16 in. (24.92 x 18.26 cm) (plate) 17 3/8 x 12 5/8 in.

Brotherswater, Frank Morley Fletcher, c.1900, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings
landscape in vertical format with green and grey mountains in distance; green field in middle ground; arcing tan bridge at bottom center; man wearing a hat and a woman with long red hair in LLC, seen from back These two intrepid hikers are catching their breath in England’s Lake District, which today encompasses 885 square miles. Frank Morley Fletcher grew up just south of this area, in Lancashire, and may have ambled in this very spot. The water below is part of Brotherswater, a small lake originally called Broad Water but renamed in the 1800s after two brothers died there. Fletcher made use of the vertical “pillar” format found in Japanese prints, a sign of his affinity for Japanese color woodblock printmaking techniques, which he practiced and championed throughout his career. The swaths of flat color are hallmarks of such prints, as are the diagonal lines and our high vantage point. Fletcher painstakingly carved one of the blocks—he liked using cherry—to add detail to Brotherswater but decided to skip the black outlines in the sky, instead letting the shapes speak for themselves. This was a daring departure from Japanese practice and an example of the experimentation Fletcher and his followers went on to do. Size: 14 1/16 × 7 1/8 in. (35.72 × 18.1 cm) (image) 15 5/8 × 8 5/8 in. (39.69 × 21.91 cm) (sheet) Medium: Color woodcut
