A new find - 200 year old Toile de Jouy

Interesting Toile de Jouy from the First Restoration period, entitled "Les Monuments de Paris", drawing by Hyppolite Le Bas, printed on cotton with a copper plate .Very beautiful definition of the engraving, identical to intaglio, and to drawings of the kings of France and Parisian monuments. Among others, the statue of Henri IV on the new bridge, the fountain of the Innocents of the Pantheon and the east facade of the Louvre, Perrault wing. Neat iconography with medallion portraits of Louis XIV and Louis XVI and an architectural background worthy of the finest achievements of the First Empire! Signature of the engraver Leisnier at the bottom of the colonnade...
