ISIDORE LEROY MANUFACTURE: The Judgment of Solomon. Designer: Arthur Martin, 1888. Complete set of seven panels. Mechanically printed design using a 26-color printing press reserved for exceptional designs—a technical feat never surpassed—and manufactured specifically for Isidore Leroy in 1877. Dimensions of one strip: 119 x 49.5 cm. The design is 47 cm wide, for a total linear length of approximately 329 cm, which can be installed in several panels. Condition: in fine appearance despite minor imperfections. Each strip is mounted on canvas separately. Exhibition: An identical specimen was displayed at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair. One (partial) specimen is held at the Bibliothèque Forney in Paris; one by the Hessen Kassel Heritage Museums in Germany; and another at the Swiss National Museum, Château de Prangin. Note: The 26-color printing press is now classified as a Historic Monument and is housed in the former Isidore Leroy factory in Saint-Fargeau-Ponthierry (Seine-et-Marne), which was converted into a cultural center in 1986.
