3 IMP FIRMIN DIDOT PARIS CHROMOLITHOGRAPHS

This listing features 3 different antique Imp Firmin Didot Chromolithographs. Two are Schweitz designs of traditional Swiss costumes, and one is a Durin design of traditional Dutch costumes. There is slight discoloration along the three edges of each print, but this is easy to overlook given the brilliant condition of the illustrations.

Printed information below the images reads, "SUISSE, SWITZERLAND, SCHWEITZ, IMP. FIRMIN DIDOT et Cie PARIS, Nordmann lith.", “SUISSE, SWITZERLAND, SCHWEITZ, IMP. FIRMIN DIDOT et Cie PARIS, Nordmann lith.“, and “HOLLANDE, —HOLLAND, HOLLAND, IMP. FIRMIN DIDOT et Cie PARIS, Durin lith.“.

Each measures 15 3/4 inches tall by 10 3/4 inches wide overall, with 11 3/4 inches tall by 8 1/4 inches wide images. They show evidence of bookbinding on the underneath left edge but this does not affect their printed surfaces. The paper edges of all three images are slightly brittle, as would be expected.

As to framing, a standard size 14” x 18” mat with a 10 1/2” x 13 1/2” opening will present each one perfectly. Acid-free materials and indirect sun are recommended to continue the outstanding preservation of these beautiful pieces.
