Victor Petit

Architecture Pittoresque ou Monuments des XVeme. Et XVIeme. Siecles: Chateaux de France des XV et XVI Siecles: Pl. 59, Château De Baclair (Seine inférieure)

1860

This lithograph by Victor Petit documents the Château de Baclair in Seine inférieure as part of his comprehensive portfolio surveying French Renaissance and late medieval architecture. The work employs tint stone lithography to capture the château's architectural details and picturesque qualities, characteristic of the 19th century antiquarian interest in preserving documentation of historic French monuments. Petit's portfolio of 100 such prints served both scholarly and aesthetic purposes, establishing a visual record of significant châteaux from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
