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.
