Essay, letters and drawings, 1835-1878.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82492963

Collection contains a largely unpublished essay "Les monuments Parisiens et leurs amis" (11 p., n.d.), and manuscript "Ligne de Rouen et ligne de Dijon" (1857). Letters are mostly to A. Morel and relating to the preparation of Viollet-le-Duc's "Dictionnaire raisonne de l'architecture francaise du XIe au XVe siecle," published by A. Morel & Cie. (1867-1873). Other topics include restoration of the church at Moissac. Letters to M. Lefort, an inspector of government works projects and to the architect Greppin, 1849-1857, deal with recommendations and "Les concours d'architecture". Additional letters are to unidentified correspondents and primarily concern business matters. In an early letter (1835 Aug. 3) Viollet-le-Duc praises an unidentified author on his articles concerning modern drama and comedy; a letter dated 1847 June 21 concerns the painter Victor Orsel. Four letters (1867-1892) were written by Viollet-le-Duc's son and pertain to financial matters and the whereabouts of a set of drawings made by Viollet-le-Duc in 1878.
