## About Edmond Charles Yon

Edmond Charles Joseph Yon, commonly identified as Edmond Yon, was a French artist active in the nineteenth century. Authority and biographical records describe him as a painter, while available biographical sources also associate him with landscape painting, watercolor, engraving, and lithography. He was born in Montmartre in 1841 and died in Paris in 1897, although one institutional discovery record in the collected source pack presents a conflicting birth year that remains unresolved. Collectors may encounter Yon's name on landscape paintings, works on paper, and printed works rather than in a single uniform category. His abbreviated professional name and longer civil name also make careful entity matching important when reviewing catalogues and auction databases. The available research supports a French landscape and graphic-art context, but it does not establish a specific named movement, workshop, or formal series, so such classifications should not be inferred without stronger documentation.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Yon's name may include landscape paintings, watercolors and other works on paper, engravings, and lithographs. The source pack supports these media and a landscape specialization, but it does not document a definitive catalogue of recurring series, editions, or individual signature works. Printed impressions and unique paintings should therefore be classified separately when researching comparable sales.

## Market and appraisal context

Auction and appraisal research for Edmond Charles Yon should separate paintings, watercolors, engravings, and lithographs because these categories are not directly interchangeable. Landscape subject matter is documented, but the collected sources do not support a universal price range or a claim that one medium is consistently more valuable. A sound comparison should examine the individual object's technique, dimensions, condition, attribution, signature, date, provenance, and subject, then compare it with appropriately catalogued public sales. Records filed under Edmond Yon, Edmond Charles Yon, or Edmond Charles Joseph Yon may need reconciliation before they are treated as comparables. Realized prices should also be read with their sale dates, currencies, buyer's-premium conventions, and lot descriptions.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Each object still requires individual review for attribution, medium, condition, provenance, and comparability.
