EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph print depicts a plate adorned with the emblem of King Louis XIV of France, also known as the Sun King. The plate, likely made in the 18th century in Paris, France, is a beautiful example of the intricate and ornate decorative arts of the time. The emblem features the sun with rays extending outwards, symbolizing the power and radiance of the monarch. The plate itself is not shown in great detail, but the expertly rendered emblem is the focus of the image. The hand-finished chromolithograph process used to create this print allowed for a high level of detail and vibrant colors, resulting in an exquisite and captivating representation of this historic artifact. The plate, with its regal emblem, would have been a prized possession in the grand courts and dining halls of the French aristocracy during the Sun King's reign. This print, taken from Ris Paquots "General History of Ancient French and Foreign Glazed Pottery," offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the French monarchy during the 18th century.
