Victor Petit

Architecture Pittoresque ou Monuments des xveme. Et xvieme. Siecles: Chateaux De France des XV et XVI Siecles: Pl. 27, Maison A Peronne (Somme)

1860

This lithograph with tint stone documents a residential building in Peronne, Somme, exemplifying the architectural character of fifteenth and sixteenth century France that Victor Petit sought to preserve in his comprehensive portfolio. As plate 27 from a series of 100 such prints, the work captures the ornamental details and structural features typical of French domestic architecture from the Renaissance period. Petit's documentation through this refined printing technique served both artistic and antiquarian purposes, providing a historical record of significant architectural heritage.
