A charming matched pair of mid-20th-century black-and-white etchings depicting iconic views of Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral, one of France's most celebrated Gothic masterpieces and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The first offers a serene riverside perspective titled Chartres. La Cathédrale Vue des Rives de l'Eure, with the cathedral's soaring spires reflected in the calm waters of the Eure River, a rowboat gently moored in the foreground, and lush foliage framing the scene. Pencil signed "Cassin" lower right.

The second captures a picturesque cobblestone street scene leading toward the cathedral, highlighting its magnificent rose window and Gothic facade amid historic buildings – including a quaint restaurant sign reading "VINS LIQUEURS." Pencil signed "Hubert" lower right.

Both works showcase fine intaglio line work and atmospheric shading characteristic of classic French architectural etchings. Professionally double-matted in warm beige and housed in matching dark wood frames with subtle molding. Original kraft paper backing intact, complete with hanging wire – ready to display as a symmetrical pair or separately.

These signed prints evoke timeless European elegance and would grace a gallery wall, library, study, or French-country inspired interior beautifully.
