EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Dolmen or Druidic altar, captured by Villain in the 19th century. The image provides a glimpse into ancient history and French culture, as it features a handcoloured lithograph from Horace de Viel-Castel's Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir à l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France). The dolmen itself is an intriguing structure that holds great significance in Brittany. It is believed to have been used as a sacred site for rituals and ceremonies conducted by the druids. The sacrificial hammer depicted under the table adds an air of mystery and offers insight into the practices carried out at this mystical location. Villain's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historical artifact, showcasing intricate details such as figures engraved beneath the table. This attention to detail brings life to this ancient scene and allows viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history. With its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship, this handcoloured lithograph serves not only as a visual delight but also as an educational tool for those interested in fashion, costume, medieval manuscripts, illuminated artwork, or even French heritage. As part of Florilegius' collection available through Fine Art Finder, this remarkable print transports us back in time while celebrating France's cultural legacy.
