Can anyone tell me more about the artist and value of the etching?
I believe artist lived in France, late 1800's .

Concerning the etching, I would refer you to the following site:

Concerning the artist, I have tried looking on the Internet. But, so far have come up short. Hopefully, someone will come along who knows something about the artist.

Here's my usual C&P on this subject:

One of the best resources that I have found concerning Paris Etching Society is from Google answers, located HERE.
The response from scriptor-ga is very insightful.

Basically PES was set up by Sidney Z. Lucas, hence the SZL mark. He owned a printshop in New York in the years 1940 to 1960 where He
produced a large number of prints after old etchings.
Generally, prints by Mr. Lucas seem not to reach very high prices.
At the end of the day they look nice, but that's about it.
Most of what is talked about them is from people "boiler rooming" the price on the supposed French history.

I hope this helps.

I also have an etching and found artnet. If this is correct, he was born in 1883
