The explanatory note titles this lithograph as follows:MEANS OF TRANSPORT. — COACHES". Two examples of 16th and 17th century carriages. This small lithograph, guaranteed authentic, was part of a gigantic and revolutionary work for the time on the study of historical costume, furniture, fashion, jewelry and architecture through history and space. Albert Racinet, illustrator by profession, gave a unique style to his illustrations by essentially using chromolithography. The lithograph here on sale is therefore an essential piece in the understanding and study of costumes and peoples throughout history. It will delight any good collector interested in the subject in order to study its content or simply to frame it. Due to its colors, its history, its author and its importance, this lithograph is indeed perfect for perfecting a decoration.
