summary

Remarkable work by architect and architectural historian Charles Chipiez and archaeologist Georges Perrot which shows a theoretical reconstruction of the Temple of Jerusalem. The authors present their imagery as a recreation of Ezekiel's vision. This exceptional volume contains plates engraved after Charles Chipiez's designs by Guillaumot père (i.e. Auguste Alexandre Guillaumot) and Auguste Hibon. Plate X is a line photogravure, signed "Heliog. Dujardin" (Louis Dujardin). Plate no. XI is a hand-colored lithograph by Joseph Isnard Louis Desjardins. This plate was displayed in the Israel Museum exhibition: "Reflections of the Temple" (2008).
