Letters and notes, ca. 1867-1879.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80333567

Collection includes approximately 75 letters, many to unknown correspondents, and eight sheets of notes, some with architectural sketches. 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. There are five letters to Alphonse Hurpin, who was chosen by Garnier to do the sculptural work on the Opera (ca. 1870). Garnier praises the work of Hurpin and asks him to prohibit visitors from viewing the work in progress at the Opera. Other letters are addressed to Leon Gambetta, the writer Gustave Larroumet and a M. Beule. In alphabetical order by correspondent.
