Versailles, le château--les jardins--les Trianons-- le musée--la ville
A guidebook to the palace, gardens, Trianon estates, museum and town of Versailles, written by art historian André Pératé and published in Paris by H. Laurens in 1904 for visitors and art readers. Its photographs and reproduced paintings show the chapel's Baroque façade, a tiered bronze fountain before the palace range, a portrait of a woman in a white Empire gown, and a formal portrait of a man in embroidered court dress, offering a designer clear models of French classical architecture, garden ornament and court portraiture.
