Originally, the l'Hotel de Soubise was a medieval manor house. Over the years it was transformmed to a glittery Rococo palace. Today, it is the French National Archives Museum of French History. During the early 1700's (estimated roughly c1709-1739,) Louis Harpin, a French designer and sculptor, was commissioned to work on the historic l'Hotel de Soubise along with architect Germain Boffard. He was known for his suptuous styling on the private apartments of the mansion. He was resposible for the alcoves, wall panels, and niches typical of 1700s designs. The details of this lithograph show the ornate features of aristocratic living quarters. Such design lithographs were later published as collections. This one is attributed to an 1869 collection. The lithograph is marked Plate 46. It has the original plate marks which measure 9.5 x 14 and is in excellent antique condition. The outer borders measure 10 x 15.5 inches. A museum quality small repair is at the top edge. This willl not show with matting/framing. See less
