Chromolithographs

Antique chromolithographs

Chromolithography, printed in successive colour stones without hand-colouring, produced some of the richest illustrated plates of the later nineteenth century. This selection spans 1862 to 1939 and includes Philip II's equestrian armour, Barcelona's Saint Eulalia banner, the Codex Vigilanus and musicians from the Cantigas de Alfonso X, several by M. Pujadas.

The category suits collectors focused on this vivid colour technique, from heraldry to costume history. Every chromolithograph is an original period impression, with a technical description and exact measurements.
