1875 Chromolithograph Byzantine Design Pattern Motif Border Historic LOR1 XAZ6 Washington Van HorneThis is a rare original 1875 color chromolithograph that depicts a motley collection of ancient Byzantine decoration throughout history, including wall paintings, mosaics, and manuscript illuminations. A unique feature of this illustration, which may be difficult to see in the digital image, is the use of gold and silver ink which not only shimmers when it catches the light but also accentuates some of the finer details that might otherwise be missed.
