Artwork designed and digitally remastered by Sarasvati Designs. Albert-Charles-Auguste Racinet (1825–1893)—engraver, artist, and artistic director at Firmin Didot—was renowned for two landmark surveys: Le Costume Historique and L’Ornement Polychrome. Issued in ten instalments (1869–1873), the first edition of L’Ornement Polychrome compiled one hundred plates spanning antiquity through the eighteenth century. “Chinois et Japonais” reflects Racinet’s meticulous documentation of East Asian decorative vocabularies, reimagined here for contemporary accessories.
