Construction of the Orléans gallery, 1829., Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer, between 1875 and 1882

Located in the palais royal, the galerie d'orléans was constructed in 1829 in place of the galeries de bois, and extended across the interior court of the palais. Due to its relatively poor location and competition with other arcades, the galerie d'orléans was one of the least successful arcades of the nineteenth century. It was partially demolished in 1935 in an attempt to restore life to the palais-royal, leaving an open courtyard in the first arrondissement. Date: between 1875 and 1882. Dimensions: 10 x 12.9 cm. Medium: lithograph. Collection: Brown University Library. Construction de la galerie d'Orléans, 1829
