Second edition of these plates, previously published by Firmin Didot. Lithograph by Allard. Gorgeous bright colors. The explanatory note titles this lithograph as follows:FRANCE — XIV°-XV° CENTURY - CIVIL COSTUMES.".

This small lithograph is guaranteed authentic. It was part of a gigantic and revolutionary work for the time on the study of historical costume, furniture, fashion, jewelry and architecture through history and space. Albert Racinet, illustrator by profession, gave a unique style to his illustrations by essentially using chromolithography. The lithograph here on sale is therefore an essential piece in the understanding and study of costumes and peoples throughout history. It will delight any good collector interested in the subject in order to study its content or simply to frame it. Due to its colors, its history, its author and its importance, this lithograph is indeed perfect for perfecting a decoration. This unique style is indeed a precursor to the illustrations of the encyclopedias of the following century.
