Hello, this item is an original 19th century color lithograph dated 1862, created by Achille Louis Martinet after Charles Rivière Delisle, depicting Windsor Castle in England. Martinet was a well known French lithographer active in Paris during the mid 19th century, particularly recognized for high quality topographical views and architectural subjects intended for an educated European audience. This composition belongs to the tradition of romanticized historic views, combining accurate architectural rendering with animated figures in the foreground. The presence of the printed title, location reference to London and Windsor, and the period typography are consistent with Martinet’s documented works from the 1850s to 1870s. The lithograph was produced using stone lithography with hand applied color, a standard technique of the period for deluxe travel and city view prints.

The overall condition appears good for a work of this age, with visible handling wear and minor surface marks but no evident major losses or structural damage visible in the provided images. Market demand for Martinet lithographs remains stable, with value driven by subject matter, condition, and color preservation. Comparable hand colored Martinet lithographs of architectural views from the same period typically trade between $400 and $800 USD at auction, with stronger examples reaching higher when colors are well preserved and margins remain intact.
