A striking chromolithograph from Racinet’s famous work on styles and motifs of the art of the ancient times, Asia, Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the 17th and 18th centuries. Racinet’s work was valued and consulted by architects, designers, artists, textile designers and jewelry makers. A remarkable work of chromolithography as only the French from the late 1870s to 1880’s could produce.
