VERSAILLES: The Château and its Satellites is a sumptuous, limited-edition artist’s book reproducing sixty watercolors of the extraordinary châteaux, pavilions, unbuilt projects, and architectural and garden ornaments of the seat of French kings. The major buildings and architectural details of the royal estates of Versailles and Trianon, Marly, Clagny and Sceaux are magnificently illustrated in exacting watercolor reconstructions and their histories are examined with essays that present a revolutionary vision of this crucial epoch in architectural history.

Versailles is an unrivaled example of the binder’s art and employs printing techniques of exceptional fidelity and precision. The volume includes 21 double-page spreads and gatefolds, each mounted on tabs and hand-sewn into the book’s signatures. The longest gatefold, of the garden elevation of the Château de Versailles, measures over a yard in length; all illustrations are printed on individual sheets, ensuring that no reproduction is blemished by traversing the book’s gutter.

  • Connaissance et Mémoires, 2007. 280 pages, format 10 x 13 ½ in. 60 color illustrations and 21 multi-page spreads, superbly reproduced using state-of-the-art printing techniques on uncoated Curtis 200 g. vellum paper.
