Framed Hand-Colored Paris Street Scene Lithograph by Barday

This is a mid-20th-century framed street scene depicting a Parisian neighborhood, likely the Marais district. The artwork is titled "Paris - Rue des Francs - Bourgeois" in the lower-left corner and features the signature "Barday" in the lower right. It is a hand-colored lithograph or pochoir print on paper, characterized by sketchy black linework accented with vibrant washes of green, orange, and red on the building facades. The composition shows narrow European streets with several pedestrians in period-appropriate attire. The artwork is housed under glass in an off-white mat and a simple, textured metallic-finish wooden frame. Regarding condition, there is prominent creasing and tearing on the left side of the matting, and the paper itself shows significant yellowing or toning, likely from age and exposure to acidic materials. This style is consistent with the popular tourist art produced in France between the 1940s and 1960s. The framing shows some minor scuffing and finish loss along the edges.
