Antoine Marie PEYRE, Projets d'architecture, Paris, l'auteur, 1812 1 vol. in-folio (510 X 330 mm): 6p. (title and explanation of plates), 13 plates, 8 of which folded. Bound in period half vellum, with a delivery cover cut out and glued to the center of the upper cover. Antoine-Marie Peyre, nephew of Antoine-François and a pupil of Boulée and Regnard, was a government architect and member of the Conseil des bâtiments civils. Like Percier & Fontaine, he was very active during the French Revolution, Empire and Kingdoms, and was responsible for the Théâtre de la Gaîté, the Marché Saint-Martin and the former abattoirs of the City of Paris, as well as the renovation of the Conciergerie. From 1824 to 1827, he restored the interior vaults of the Palais de Justice and the Quai de l'Horloge facade. He was also entrusted with the restoration of the Château de Maison, built by Maulard, and the Château d'Écouen, destined for the establishment of the daughters of the Legion of Honor.The present work describes several of his projects that were never realized: a monument for the Legion d'Honneur, on the site of the new Madeleine church, to be called the Temple de la Gloire, a project that won third prize in the competition opened on this subject by the Institut (1804) but never saw the light of day; an obelisk on the median of the Pont-Neuf, and a mineral water bath on the banks of a river near a major city. A very interesting compendium, in the spirit of Ledoux's treatises and Vaudoyer & Baltard's collections of architectural grand prix.
