This publication, with a total of 324 color plates, represented a milestone in the history of chromolithographic printing and publishing. At least 15 lithographers were involved in the process, which took place between 1852 and 1858, including Émile Beau, Racinet (father and son), the Thurwangers and Franz Kellerhoven. Les Arts somptuaires stood out at the time not only for its exceptional scale, but also for the innovation represented by the use of coated paper on the boards, allowing the inks to shine brightly on the page.
