    It looks like the signatures are in ink and the etching doesn't have any repeating dots when viewed under magnification. It's about 24" by 30".

    Thanks :).

    The painting is called "Souvenir de Mortefontaine" (1864). I can't tell much else from the photos. I don't think it's an etching by Corot personally. I'm not really convinced it's an etching, but certainly could be wrong. A couple of clear, close details might help.

    This eBay listing shows a photo reproduction by Braun, Clement & Cie. It's a different size, but shows that photo repros were available early on.
