A superb plate from the House Painter's Library , illustrating the "Little Antique Roman Shaded and Raised" model. Created by A. Botzum and published by E. Thézard Fils in Dourdan around 1900, this lithograph presents a complete lowercase alphabet in a refined three-dimensional style. The letters, white with blue shading on a red background, demonstrate the skill of Belle Époque sign painters, blending geometric precision with the illusion of volume.
