Plans de plusieurs chateaux, palais et residences de souverains, de France, d'Italie, d'Espagne et de Russie... (printed book with proofs and manuscript additions), Paris, 1830.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79029266

Mock-up prepared for the 1833 reissue of this book, which added palaces in Sweden and Germany. A manuscript table of contents is annotated "par P. F. L. Fontaine 1830," and it lists forty-two plates, rather than the thirty-eight that were actually issued. This volume contains manuscript versions for plates 39-42: 39 - "Chateau de Bensberg, Duchie de Berg sur le Rhin" (two plans); 40 - "Palais du roi de Naples a Capo de Monte" (two plans); 41 - "palais Farnese...a Rome" (two plans); and 42 - "l'Eglise, palais et convent de Mafra pres Lisbonne en Portugal" (one plan). The second part of this volume is an incomplete set of proof impressions; twenty-four of the thirty-eight plates are represented (one plate by two proofs). Inserted in the volume are a broadside entitled "Projet de Reunion des Tuileries avec le Louvre" by Ducamp de Bussy, 1809, and a lithographic map of Compiegne by Charles Perint, 1842, with insets of the palace and Hotel de Ville.

1 v.; ill. (70 plates).
