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.
