The artwork, adapted from Chinois et Japonais by Albert-Charles-Auguste Racinet (1825–1893), reflects the designer’s deep study of global decorative arts. Racinet, an accomplished artist and historian of ornament, is best known for two landmark works: Le Costume Historique and L'Ornement Polychrome, published while he served as engraver and artistic director at Firmin Didot et Cie. Issued in ten installments between 1869 and 1873, the first edition of L'Ornement Polychrome presented 100 plates documenting centuries of ornament from antiquity through the eighteenth century, including these remarkable East Asian-inspired motifs that continue to influence design today.
