Notre-Dame, about 1880
E. Strenz (engraver) and A. Janniots Cie (printer and publisher)
13 June to 15 July 2017

This souvenir of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was one of a series depicting famous architectural landmarks and views of the city.

In 'cameo-embossing', the flat background is coloured but not the raised central image. Manufacturers used this technique to imitate the appearance of a porcelain plaque in cheaper materials such as paper or card.

National Art Library opening times Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday: 10.00 - 17.30, Friday: 10.00 - 18.30
Displays complement our permanent collections; there are many free temporary displays around the V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room.
