EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking colour lithograph that takes us on a visual journey through the stages of human existence. Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 19th century, this masterpiece now resides in the Musee Nat. des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris, France.
