This color lithograph is a plate from *A Modern City*, a set of designs by the French architect Rob Mallet-Stevens, and it shows a crèche and kindergarten, a building type that set this design apart from the houses, villas, and public buildings that filled the rest of the portfolio. The plate was published in London by Benn Brothers in 1922, when European architects were rethinking how cities should house work, family life, and childcare. Modernist designers of the period often stressed light, air, and hygiene for young children, and the drawing reflects that concern. Its bold color and clean geometry show the stylistic ideas that shaped the era's architecture.
