Plate 16: Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Antwerp, Rouen & Drawn from Nature & on Stone; Two images: Porte Rouge Notre Dame & Rue des Marmousets, Paris
Paris: Charles Joseph Hullmandel, 1839. Lithograph in colors with engraving on buff wove paper. Each of the two images measures 10 3/4 x 6 5/8 inches (271 x 167 mm), with the sheet measuring 14 1/4 x 20 1/2 inches (360 x 520 mm), the margins are full. Scattered light discoloration throughout with some surface soiling. Mat window stain around the two images, notations in pencil in the margin, colors remain fresh. An impression of these two works presented as a set may be found in the permanent collection of the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco.
These images, which were produced entirely by means of lithography, were printed in oil color, and appear exactly as pulled from the press. They represents part of the first real challenge to the supremacy in England of the hand colored aquatint as a media, which is an older technique in which the hand coloring is applied after the image is pulled from the press. An impression of these works may be found in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
