Decorative illustration sheet by René Binet, 1902 edition. Superb illustration on the theme of ceramics, depicting a facade covered in brightly colored ceramic tiles. A beautiful piece for framing. In very good condition, signed lower right. 45 X 33 cm. René Binet (1866-1911) designed the monumental gateway on the Place de la Concorde for the 1900 Universal Exhibition in Paris, and the reconstruction of the Printemps department stores.
