Albert-Charles-Auguste Racinet (1825–1893), himself an accomplished artist, is best known today for publishing L'Ornement Polychrome — while engraver and artistic director at the Parisian publisher Firmin Didot et Cie. The imagery presented in both series is drawn from a wide array of various mediums, including woodwork, metalwork, architecture, textiles, painting, and pottery, and from cultures all over the world.
