London: Charles Joseph Hullmandel, 1839. Oil stick color lithograph on cream wove paper, 14 3/16 x 11 inches; (360 x 280 mm), full margins. Scattered light yellow spots of discoloration throughout, more apparent on the verso. Non-archival tape on the lower sheet margin, and at the top right and left corners on the recto. 1-inch repaired horizontal edge tear at the left-upper sheet edge, outside of image area. Several notations in pencil in the margins on the verso. From Picturesque Architecture in Paris, Ghent, Antwerp, Rouen, &c. This image, which was produced entirely by means of lithography, was printed in oil color, and appears exactly as it was pulled from the press. It 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 this work may be found in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
