A nineteenth-century French etcher & painter of landscapes & river views, Edmond Charles Joseph Yon studied in Paris under Jean Achille Pouget & Justin Lequien. His art was first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1865 & he continued to regularly show both etchings & paintings there until near the century's end. Edmond Yon's art was awarded medals from the Salon in both 1875 & 1879 &, in 1889, he received a Gold Medal from the Exposition Universale. Edmond Yon was elected a Chevalier of France's Legion of Honour in 1886. In both his paintings & original etchings, Edmond Yon was a master of atmospheric effects.
