Notes:

A very attractive volume of coloured lithograph plates of designs for villas and small country houses, which has the merit of including a series of such designs by the architect Léon Isabey that are of marked originality and distinction ... It is one of the most striking of the small group of French architectural books of this date with colour plate illustrations. Cf. Hugh Pagan Ltd. Architecture. Catalogue no. 17, no. 59.
