The Explorer - Artistic Imagery Maison Quantin - Original Board - TheRedshop

The quantin imagery plates are divided into series, each of which consists of twenty titles. Between 1886 and the years 1902-1904, about twenty series were published for Quantin imagery. A twenty-first series was published in the middle of the First World War, probably in 1917. The "Artistic Imagery" would thus count a total of 420 titles.
