The Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, the Court of the Louvre and the Palais Royal are among the monuments in these prints from The public buildings of Paris, published in London by E.T. Brain and Co. in 1845. The engravings were made under the direction of W.I. Bicknell and range across the churches, fountains, gates and palaces of the city, including the Banque de France, the Bibliothèque Nationale, the Hôtel de Cluny and the Dôme des Invalides. Beyond the centre they reach the Cascade de Saint-Cloud, the Chapelle du Palais de Versailles and the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
