Grands prix d'architecture. Projets couronnés par l'Académie royale des beaux arts de France. Gravés et publiés par A.L.T. Vaudoyer et L.P. Baltard . Paris: 1818. Engraved title page and 120 engraved plates, loose as issued (lightly foxed, uncut edges lightly stained). 20th-century green morocco-backed board portfolio with ribbon ties, retaining single wrapper from an individual fascicule (extremities very slightly rubbed). The French Grand Prix, proposed and begun by Prieur and continued by Van Cleemputte, was first approved by l'Académie d'architecture for publication in 1787. The present lot was the third series to be published, a second series having been published in 1806. As with the previous volumes, the designs submitted and obtaining a prize appeared in 20 cahiers, each of which contained six plates. These Grand Prix publications exercised a profound influence on contemporary European architects, notably Gilly and Schinkel.
