This volume, illustrated with engravings, chromo-lithographs, and a set of photographs by Bisson Frères, is listed in MPL 1857 as published in 1856.
This copy no longer appears to extant in the SLV. However, other Bisson photographs of Notre-Dame, acquired separately in 1861, are still in the State Library’s Pictures Collection (H87.84/6 and 84/8): see now linked entry on Bisson frères.
Lassus and Viollet-le-Duc oversaw the restoration/rebuilding of Notre-Dame from 1844 onwards.
