This charming French album contains a variety of colorful transfer designs, illustrating one of the earliest forms of transfer printing.\u003cbr\u003eThe same basic water-transfer process was later adapted for the first commercial temporary tattoos, making these early decal albums true ancestors of today's fake tattoos. A wonderful piece of printing history, equally appealing to collectors of ephemera, tattoo memorabilia, and antique advertising\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cabinet de Curiosités Henry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54848490635532,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/5472\/9484\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_b635f665-a709-46ed-9b09-8ca93e91fdc8.jpg?v=1782728761","url":"https:\/\/curiositeshenry.myshopify.com\/products\/original-late-19th-century-album-de-decalcomanie-c-1890","provider":"Cabinet de Curiosités Henry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
