1806SAVLD129Paris: Detournelle & J. Charles 1806. Hardcover. Very Good. Elephant folio 500 x 340mm. Collation complete: 120 plates of French Architecture and plans including the Arc de Triomphe Place de la Concorde and other famous Academy projects. With woodcut vignette of cornucopia and muse on title-page table generale listing architectural designs and copper engraved title-page listing academy members. Three-quarter calf-backed over tree-design boards; scattered marginal foxing. Late 19th-century armorial bookplate of Hoffmann Josef Franz Maria Hoffmann on front pastedown. Hoffmann 1870-1956 was an influential Austrian architect who won the Rome Prize in 1895. Known for his contributions to the arts and crafts movement Hoffmann also designed rooms for the Paris Expositions Universelle in 1900. Second series of this magnificent collection of the 1806 Projets dArchitecture 120 fine French Academy competition plates by Allais Detournelle and Vaudoyer which followed a previous publication of Prieur c. 1787-1801 originally issued in 20 cahiers. As these Grands Prix engravings show Academy neoclassicists revived eclectic motifs from antiquity with their prominent use of obelisks pyramids and blank walls in their design. Egpytianizing forms were becoming part of the landscape of Parisian architecture and were used to achieve a solemn appearance; this style was fascinating to young Academics who still wanted to maintain regal tradition. Notably the Grands Prix drawings contain the Chapelle Sepulchrale by la Barre which demonstrated many of these Egyptian design elements including Pantheon-domes pyramids sphinxes and sarcophagi. This fine production of accomplished watercolors was primarily meant for the education of young Academics in this successful architectural style. Many plates include the scale given in French toises or metres. It continued the Collection des Prix 1787-1801 and was continued as the Grands Prix dArchitecture in 1818. <br/><br/>Second series of this magnificent collection of the 1806 Projets dArchitecture 120 fine French Academy competition plates by Allais Detournelle and Vaudoyer which followed a previous publication of Prieur c. 1787-1801 originally issued in 20 cahiers.

194716078Paris: Imprimerie National 1947. First edition of Allais' groundbreaking work. Octavo 2 volumes original wrappers as issued. Inscribed by Maurice Allais on the title page of volume one. From the library of fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his name in each volume. In near fine condition with light shelfwear minor mending to the first few pages of volume one. A nice association linking these two Nobel Prize winning-economists and giants of twentieth century economics. In Economie & Interet Maurice Allais introduced the first overlapping generations model later popularized by Paul Samuelson in 1958 introduced the golden rule of optimal growth later popularized by Edmund Phelps or described the transaction demand for money rule later found in William Baumol's work. In 1988 Maurice Allais became the first French citizen to receive the Nobel Prize in economics. He won it for his contribution to the understanding of market behavior and the efficient use of resources. Allais also showed that his insights could be applied to help set efficient prices for state-owned monopolies of which France had many. Allais's work paralleled and sometimes preceded similar work done by English-speaking economists Sir John Hicks and Paul Samuelson. He also proved a result in growth theory in 1947 that had been credited to Edmund Phelps. Allais did not get credit as early as his English counterparts because his work was in French. "Had Allais' earliest writings been in English" commented Paul Samuelson "a generation of economic theory would have taken a different course. Imprimerie National unknown books
