Chromolithographs or colored stone prints are old, colorful panels. Measured in terms of brilliance and luminosity, they surpass almost every modern print. Up to 21 colors were printed one on top of the other in a very complex printing process. This technique was developed at the beginning of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century, offset printing was replaced by cheaper but poorer quality.
A coveted collector's item for lovers and provided with the right frame, a real feast for the eyes.
