The Parisian landmarks of the July Monarchy, from the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile to the chapel of the Conciergerie prison, appear in these antique prints by WI Bicknell, engraved in 1845. His plates show the Louvre, the Dôme des Invalides, the Bibliothèque Nationale and the Église de Saint-Etienne du Mont, as well as the École Militaire, the Banque de France and the Fontaine du Châtelet, with close attention to masonry and classical facades. Beyond the capital he drew the royal châteaux and landscaped grounds of Versailles, Saint-Germain-en-Laye and Fontainebleau.
