This is an outstanding example of 19th century color lithography from LaFuente’s Arte Espanol, published Madrid, circa 1880. Many of the prints from this work have vibrant, beautiful gold and silver leaf accents which were hand applied. Little is known about this work as it was acquired unbound and without a title page. The illustrations are beautiful and very collectible.

Armadura De Carlos V (Armor of Carlos the 5th) is resplendent with silver and gold leaf details. When the lithograph is held up to the light, it is magnificent with bright metallic touches all over the suit of armor.
Size and Condition

The paper is heavy stock and the margin color is a dark beige. Condition is very good and the overall size is 9” x 12 ¾”.
