Set of Four 1928 French Architectural Prints — From Domestic Architecture in Rural France
A set of four original prints from the long out-of-print 1928 edition of Domestic Architecture in Rural France — a rare architectural folio capturing the vernacular beauty of Burgundy, Auvergne, Provence, Normandy, Brittany, and the Touraine.
Each plate was originally printed using lithograph, drypoint, pencil, and wash, revealing the precision and artistry of early 20th-century architectural drawing. The series depicts small châteaux, cottages, manoirs, windmills, and stone gateways, each rendered with quiet grace and an architect’s eye for proportion.
The natural patina and soft yellowing of the thick pages add warmth and authenticity — subtle traces of nearly a century that make these prints so visually compelling. Whether displayed unframed for a more archival look or mounted as a set, they bring an air of French countryside refinement to any interior.
Provenance: From the original 1928 printing of Domestic Architecture in Rural France: Sketches in Lithograph, Drypoint, Pencil and Wash of Small Châteaux, Cottages, Manoirs, Windmills, Gates, Doorways, etc.
Condition: Excellent antique condition with gentle age toning and soft deckled edges.
Dimensions (each, unframed): 9.75” H × 12.75” W
Shipping: Ships flat and carefully packaged to preserve each print’s condition. Free shipping within the continental U.S.
Collected for the considered home by Culpepper Osbourne, where authenticity can’t be faked.
