This lithograph documents the Fiefdom of Bordes Compigny in the Yonne department, showcasing Victor Petit's detailed architectural recording of French Renaissance châteaux during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Created as plate 81 in Petit's ambitious portfolio of one hundred tinted lithographs, the work demonstrates the artist's meticulous approach to preserving the character and ornamental details of period architecture through the refined technique of lithography with color tint stone. Petit's systematic documentation served both as a historical archive and as a valuable visual reference for architects and designers of the nineteenth century.
