Description et dessins de la prison cellulaire de Pentonville, lez-Londres
A French-language survey of the Pentonville cellular prison near London, published in 1846 with an unidentified Brussels publisher, presumably for architects and prison administrators. Its plates are measured architectural drawings: plans, a sectional elevation of the central hall with stacked cell tiers and a tall chimney, and sheets of ironwork brackets, railings and fittings. A designer might draw on the precise line work and the orderly grid of repeated cells and stair details.
