THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING SUCH A FASCINATING AND INTERESTING PERIOD OF THE HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE . . . . .VERY ENRICHING .. . .. !!! . . .. GREETINGS FROM MEXICO . ..... . .!
Mr Begdoll, thank you so much for this presentation on Percier Dontaine. Years ago I was trying to locate the whereabout the Rue de Rivoli elevation drawing. Could you tell me please where it is kept today?
Engaging and with great drawings. Mentioning ten times modest, WORKING background of one of the architect is hilarious. May be in the frame of princely Versallle, it sounded socially elevated, but considering that so many iconic architects came from the families of painters, wood workers, crafts guild members,not to mention the origin of Napoleon HIMSELF, it’s sounded a bit pathetic. Mighty tricolor on lapels of formers aristocracy. Architecture is field of sweat and tears and making out of this some social climbing story make a disservice to a very complicated field.

Good stuff.
OOOOOPS! Jim Morrison, not Jimmy Hendrix, is buried in Père Lachaise. They are both rock musicians, easy to mix up...

New riches .werent able to maintain their position.

"Drawling" lol.
Drawling, what a peculiar verbal tic for an architectural critic.
