Notre-Dame, the Bishopric and the cloister, 1830, Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer, between 1875 and 1882

During the revolution, many of the treasures of the cathedral were either destroyed or plundered. Only the great bells avoided being melted down, and the cathedral was dedicated first to the cult of reason, and to the cult of the supreme being. The church interior was used as a warehouse for the storage of forage and food. After falling into disrepair, a restoration program overseen by lassus (died 1857) and viollet-le-duc, was carried out in 1845. This program lasted 23 years, and included the construction of the spire and the sacristy. During the commune of 1871, the cathedral was nearly burned by the communards - and some accounts suggest that indeed a huge mound of chairs was set on fire in its interior. Whatever happened, the cathedral of notre dame survived the commune essentially unscathed" l'hôtel-dieu is a hospital located next to notre-dame cathedral on the ile de la cité. The original building shown on this lithograph was torn down during the haussmann era. Date: between 1875 and 1882. Dimensions: 24 x 30 cm.. Medium: lithograph. Collection: Brown University Library. Notre-Dame, l'Évêché et le cloître, 1830
