Ornamental Ceiling Drawings, 1877


I came across this folio of original French lithographs from 1877, containing these wonderful drawings of designs for painted ceilings.I hope you like them! I posted a larger set of these lithographs on my Flickr page here. Don't forget to download the 'Original Size'.

    What a find! Surely there cannot be many collections like these left unknown by now. So glad that we get to see them too.
