Here is an antique fabulous photogravure showing the over-the-top opulent furnishings and architectural details of the very beautiful gaming room at the Monte Carlo Casino in France as viewed in 1890. I just love the gaslight chandeliers!
Europe was a very different world 120 years ago. There were no automobiles, electricity was still in its infancy and photography was a very new and exciting invention. For the very wealthy, there were lavish picture books for people to gaze upon... exotic and wonderful far-off places around the globe; like the book this delightful 8.5" x 11" black and white plate came from. The print itself measures 6" x 8" and it simply yells "FRAME ME!"
'The Monte Carlo Casino Gaming Room' is printed on a heavy-weight paper with just a bit of a sheen; it's smooth and clean, without wrinkles or pings, or marks. It's simply a gem.

Matted, framed, and displayed as a gallery grouping, these wonderful antique architectural prints are simply spectacular. (Please note that the framed examples in the last two photos are just to show how this might look when it's framed. Your print will come to you unmatted and unframed.)
