antique French lithograph, lille 1829

A hand-coloured French lithograph titled Résultat du Concours d'harmonie de la ville de Lille, a satirical sheet built around carrier pigeons—each labelled for Brussels, Douai, and Ghent—a roadside signpost, and a gloved hand resting beside a pipe. Lettered and dated at Lille, 3 June 1829, with the original printed price along the lower edge. The light blue hand-colouring lifts the fine lithographic line. Sourced from a brocante in Marseille. dimensions: 10.75"W x 8.75"H
