Description

A large decorative broadside represents the history of France in a shape of a tree, starting with six tribes, that formed the French nation. Each branch represents one French royal line with most notable events in the shape of leaves. The last events on the leaves on the upper right-hand side are dated in 1859 under Napoleon III.

Our example appears to be slightly later imprint with faded lithographed lines and the coloring is made with crude stencils. The other examples we could trace on the marked had clearer lines and leaves coloured in details.
