Complete sets of this title are rare.
Volume I: Decorations Interieures * Volume II: Decorations Exterieures * Volume III: Decorations Exterieures et Interieures.
According to scholar and author Malcolm Daniel, "Baldus first published his own photographs in photogravure form in a publication on the architecture and ornamentation of the Louvre and the Tuileries Palaces issued in installments beginning in 1869 . . . a publication that must have seemed ironically timely, for while it was still being issued the Tuilerie Palace and parts of the Louvre were burned down during the 1871 Commune." The Photographs of Edouard Baldus, 95.
All items are offered for sale subject to Swann Galleries' standard terms and conditions of sale, which are published in our catalogues and are posted below.
