Emile Desmaisons (1812–1880) – "School Girls" Original Antique French Color Lithograph c.1869
A charming and beautifully detailed 19th-century French color lithograph depicting a lively classroom scene of young schoolgirls. Rich in period character and subtle humor, this delightful image captures a candid moment from everyday life in France during the late 1800s.
Created by renowned French artist Emile Desmaisons (1812–1880) and printed in Paris by the celebrated Lemercier & Cie, one of the foremost fine art lithographic printers of the era.
The print features beautiful color, crisp detail, and generous margins, making it ideal for archival matting and framing. Whether you're an antique print collector, educator, Francophile, or simply appreciate Victorian-era artwork, this is a wonderful decorative and historical piece.
Image: 14" W × 10.5" H
Paper: 15.5" W × 12" H
Very good antique condition. There are remnants of glue and paper on the reverse from previous framing, consistent with age. The image itself displays beautifully.
To preserve this remarkable mid-19th century print for future generations, archival-quality matting and framing materials are recommended.
A genuine antique—not a modern reproduction—and a wonderful addition to any collection of French prints, Victorian art, or historical educational scenes.
