VIOLLET-LE-DUC, Eugène-Emmanuel & GUILHERMY, Ferdinand de - Description de Notre-Dame, cathédrale de Paris. Paris, Libr. d'Architecture de Bance, 1856. In-8, (3) ff. 132 pp. 5 h. t. plates including two plans, red half-chag. with ornate ribbed spine, gilt head. First edition dedicated to Mgr Sibour, Archbishop of Paris. The complete restoration will be one of the glories of your pontificate. Restoration work on the cathedral was not due to be completed until 1864. However, official ceremonies could already be held there, such as the christening of the Imperial Prince that same year. Ferdinand de Guilhermy (1809-1878), a close associate of Mérimée, Arcisse de Caumont and Viollet-le-Duc, had been a member of the Commission des arts et édifices religieux since 1853. In 1856, he also published Description archéologique des monuments de Paris.
