This article is a first approach to the study of the lithophanes in the Museo Nacional del Romanticismo in Madrid (Spain), the largest European public collection of these objects. The author traces the principal manufacturers represented in the collection thus far identified, and analyses the peculiar characteristics of these unique and refined objects. In particular, she examines aspects of their iconography, their different shapes and uses, as well as the stamps and marks that help identify the models.
