About This Book

An observant visitor tours Parisian monuments, museums, libraries, manufactories, markets, and civic buildings, combining detailed description with critical commentary and practical proposals. The account documents architectural neglect and losses, denounces the dispersal and deterioration of artistic treasures, and urges legal protections, museum restorations, and new collections of casts and copies to fill lacunae. It advocates conservation methods favoring durable materials, improvements in urban sanitation and public spaces, reforms to markets and institutions, and more coherent decorative and liturgical treatments, balancing respect for historical fabric with concrete plans for embellishment, access, and long-term preservation.
