Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Architectural Record, Vol. 13: A Monthly Magazine of Architecture and the Allied Arts and Crafts; January, February, March, April, May, June 1903
A monumental gateway of wrought iron Opens on to a semi circular court of perfectly harmonious aspect. To the right and left are col'onnades of very pure outline. There is no doubt but that this court inspired the architect of the Petit P'alais, con structed in the Champs Elysees for the Exhibition of 1900, and which is soon to be transrmed into another museum for the City of Paris, as this same court, with the addition of pools and foun tains, is to be seen around the Petit Faiais. In the centre of the entrance court is an imposing glass door of bold proportions, six metres wide by ten metres high. To the right and left are two other entrances at the end of the circular colonnade.
