This lithograph with tint stone depicts the tower of Château de Montfort l'Amaury, a fifteenth or sixteenth century French fortification located in Seine et Oise. Created by Victor Petit for his portfolio "Architecture Pittoresque," the print documents the architectural heritage of medieval French châteaux through the refined medium of color lithography. The work exemplifies the nineteenth century antiquarian interest in preserving and aesthetically representing the monumental structures of France's Renaissance past.
