About the Item

Inhabitants of the Landes on Stilts, France – Hand-Coloured Lithograph Description: This distinctive plate shows two inhabitants of the Landes region in southwestern France, depicted standing on traditional wooden stilts once used to traverse marshland terrain. The unusual subject matter makes this one of the most recognisable and conversation-starting images in Wahlen’s series. Markaert’s composition contrasts the two figures to emphasise costume and posture, while hand colouring adds depth without overpowering the graphic clarity of the lithograph. A highly decorative and historically specific image, well suited to collectors interested in regional customs or unusual ethnographic subjects. Condition report: Light foxing and age toning; margins intact. Framing tips: Best framed simply to highlight the graphic silhouette of the figures. Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph Maker: Markaert, Brussels, c.1845
