Two Days More!


Pair of 19th Century Hand-Tinted Woodcut Etchings of the Palais du Louvre (LEO Design)

 

As we count-down to La Fête National—also called Bastille Day—we'd like to share a couple of handsome items from France, currently for sale in the LEO Design on-line shop.

Shown here, a pair of prints of the Louvre, printed (and hand-tinted with watercolor) in the Nineteenth Century (although they depict the castle in the centuries prior to that).

The images were first drawn by Francois-Auguste Trichon and then engraved (in wood) by Ferdinand Delannoy in 1881.  After printing, they were hand-colored.  Click on the photo above to learn more about them.
