Description from the seller
Superb set of three (3) matching panels forming a decorative triptych on the theme of the history of costume. These lithographs from the late 19th century depict women wearing old and historic haute couture costumes. These engravings testify to the Parisian know-how of the Belle Époque. Originally printed in black and white by the famous Falconer house in Paris, they were subsequently color-enhanced by hand (watercolor/gouache) with immense finesse. The coloring is signed “Coloris Hugues,” noting his prestigious status as a former Gobelins artist, which guarantees the rigor and splendor of the nuances. Artist / Designer: G. Gommin Printer: Imp.
