elala6183Paris: Librairie D’Architecture De Bance 1856. First Edition of this description of the famous medieval landmark written by its most ambitious restorer Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and the historian and archaeologist Ferdinand de Guilhermy. Viollet-le-Duc who was then just thirty years old began work on the project together with Jean-Baptiste-Antoine Lassus in 1844. The restoration of the building which had fallen into serious disrepair over time was to last twenty years. The present work retraces the history of construction and details every architectural and structural element. The Commission on Historical Monuments approved most of Viollet-le-Duc's plans including his proposal to recreate the original medieval spire and bell tower over the transept which had been removed in 1786 because it was unstable in the wind. The new spire was taller more ornate and more strongly constructed; it was destroyed by fire in 2019 although the copper statues and ornaments were saved having been removed for cleaning. Supervising a large team of sculptors glass makers and other craftsmen and working from drawings or engravings Viollet-le-Duc remade or added decorations if he felt they were in the spirit of the original style. In total the restoration of Notre Dame cost over 12 million francs. 12mo. pp. 4 p.l. 132 4ads. with half-title. 2 engraved plans & 3 engraved plates. with tissue guards.
