Address-card of the printseller, Rochoux

Printer Auguste Delâtre French
Not on view
The print publisher and dealer Armand Rochoux commissioned Meryon to design this trade card, for which the etcher created complementary plates that could be inked and printed in varying color combinations (26.28.1bis and 47.51.3). The artist incorporated motifs related to the location of the print shop, which was on the quay near the Palais de Justice; the gothic gateway of that building crowns the design. Allegories of the River Seine and its tributary, the Marne, sit on either side and the monument to the French king Henri IV (r. 1589–1610) on the Pont-Neuf bridge stands below.
