However, Meryon is careful to make his tablet a slab of limestone, with fossils of ancient mollusks embedded in it, to emphasize the building material common to all of the great Medieval architectural monuments of Paris that appear in his series. In the process, like Canaletto, Meryon borrows for his own art some of the majesty of the ages. <br><br>(Andrew C.
