What reading level is Old Paris; Twenty Etchings By Charles Méryon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He does not sketch so much or so freely as good etchers usually do, and there is a severity in his manner not always compatible with the ease of true etching. Nevertheless, I class him amongst true etchers on account of his frank use of the explanatory line, which is the chief test; added burin or dry-point work does not prove impotence with the etching-point, and is little more than a sort of glaze. Considered psychologically, the work of M^ryon is highly curious. It is thoughtful, reflective,... intensely personal, and full of strange hints of a passionate fantasy, secret and subdued. This mental quality, far more than the manual dexterity of the artist, is the secret of his inexhaustible charm. He is a sort of enigma for us, which we are always trying to solve. Victor Hugo, with the clear eye of a poet, saw at once this mental fascination, and saw that Mdryon needed to be strengthened by all possible encouragements in his great struggle with c 13 CHARLES MERYON the Infinite — the infinite of Paris, the infinite of the sea.
