Edmond Gosselin

Edmond Gosselin was an artist who specialized in printmaking, with a documented active period between 1853 and 1856. Although the period of his known output was brief, his work is preserved in major institutions, establishing the historical and museum-quality of his prints.

Gosselin focused on detailed architectural studies and urban topography, concentrating primarily on the Parisian landscape. Fifteen of his prints are held in museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The works represented in these collections often depict specific structural and street views of mid-nineteenth-century Paris, such as L'Arch du Pont Notre Dame and Le Pont Neuf. Gosselin also captured detailed views of major religious sites, evidenced by titles like L'Abside de Notre Dame de Paris and La Galerie Notre Dame, alongside street scenes such as La Rue des Mauvais Garçons. These Edmond Gosselin prints provide a valuable documentary record of the era. Due to the historical nature of the works, many of these images are available today as high-quality prints via public domain repositories.
