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'.
