Description
Alexis DONNET, ORGIAZZI, Jacques Auguste KAUFMANN, Architectonographie des théâtres de Paris ou Parallèle historique et critique de ces édifices considérés sous le rapport de l'architecture et de la décoration,; Architectonographie des théâtres de Paris ou parallèle historique et critique de ces édifices considérés sous le rapport de l'architecture, commencé par Alexis Donnet et Orgiazzi et commencé par Jacques Auguste Kaufmann,; [bound in continuation] Tiburce MORISOT, La propriété Première année, Planches, Paris, Didot, 1821 - Mathias, 1837 - 18331 vol. in-8° and in atlas in-folio: viii-376p. Some foxing in the last few leaves of the volume; 2f. (title and table), 1 folding plan, 25pl. 18 pl. num. IX-XXX (two counted double); 2f. (faux-titre and title), 32 pl.Bound in contemporary half calf, smooth muted spine redone for the textOriginal edition of the text of this rare descriptive monograph, which gives a fine overview of the more than 50 theaters that welcomed Parisians on a daily basis. The plates, engraved by Orgiazzi, give a rigorous picture of these theaters' decorations, which are hard to imagine today lit by candlelight. The atlas comes from the second edition, a reimposition of the original. The book alternates between analyses and references to ancient Greek and Roman theaters, and Parisian achievements. Alongside the Odéon and the Salle Favart, we discover the Mont-Parnasse, the Diorama and the Panorama, as well as the Salle du Marché Saint Germain. The map of Paris, with the former division into 12 arrondissements, each with 4 districts, gives, in addition to the usual monuments, the location of each of the theaters, a rare and reliable source.
