Binding rubbed, some foxing to preliminaries, the photographs generally with excellent tones. Though not indicated, this is one separately-published volume of Garnier's grand work (1875-81).

RARE, FULL SET of the definitive work on the Opera at Paris, 'the most exuberant building of its time' (Dict. of Art, XII, p.156). A relative unknown, Garnier won the competition to build the Opera in 1861 as an expression of the wealth and power of Napoleon III's Second Empire. Construction commenced immediately, employing over 90 painters and sculptors for its lavish decorative programme alone, and it was completed -- under the Third Republic -- in 1875. The celebrated French architectural photographer Durandelle recorded its construction in 'photographs which are a milestone in the use of the medium for extended architectural documentation. They count among the most splendid examples of nineteenth-century architectural photography', (C. Phillips, The Construction of the Paris Opera, exhibition at ICP, NY, 2001). In addition to the 115 albumen prints depicting the decoration, the set comprises a portfolio of 73 lithographic plates of the architecture and backstage mechanics, and two text volumes by Garnier.
