Title: Letters and notes, ca. 1867-1879.

Thirteen letters are addressed to his friend and colleague, Alfred de Curzon (ca. 1867-1879). Garnier comments on his efforts to appreciate painting (notably attacking Courbet), discusses his work for the Paris Opera and the ceiling of Lenepveu, and mentions his trip to Venice to view mosaics designed by Curzon.
