AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mid-19th-century lithograph (1858), printed by Lemercier in Paris, after a drawing co-signed by Count Paul de Lavenne de Choulot, landscape architect, and the architect Pierre-Joseph Olive.
The work depicts a cavalier view of the planned park of Le Vésinet, with its network of streams and artificial lakes, its curved avenues lined with villas, and the Paris–Saint-Germain railway crossing the site. This document constitutes the founding view of the subdivision of Le Vésinet, one of the very first examples of a garden city in France, carried out at the initiative of the Société Alphonse Pallu & Cie.
One copy of this plate is preserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (shelf GE C-6915).
- Dimensions: 80.7 x 58.8 cm
- Condition: Good condition. Sheet folded at its center, some foxing and browning. See photos for more details.
- Paul de Lavenne, born in Nevers on January 31, 1794, and died on April 4, 1864, was a French landscape architect of the 19th century who designed more than 300 parks in France and in Europe. Wikipedia
