Eleven prints representing the collaboration between Meryon and Delâtre are preserved in museum collections, confirming the historical importance and high-quality prints derived from their joint efforts. These works are featured in major institutions, including the National Gallery of Art.

Notable examples of their graphic works include detailed depictions of Parisian architecture, such as La Pompe Notre-Dame, Paris (The Notre-Dame Pump) and two representations of the bridge, Le Pont Neuf, Paris and Le Pont-Neuf, Paris. The collaboration also yielded evocative narrative imagery, exemplified by two distinct impressions of the work titled Le stryge (The Vampire). These Charles Meryon; Auguste Delâtre prints are highly valued for their precise line work and atmospheric quality. As historical works, many are now entering the public domain, providing access to downloadable artwork for researchers and collectors.
