At the time of Claude-Nicolas Ledoux's death in 1806, Ledoux had published one volume of 125 plates focusing on his plans for a Utopian city. He had also completed 175 additional plates for future publications. Daniel Ramee assembled all 300 plates in two volumes in 1847. Here, the original Ramee edition has been reproduced in a single volume and includes an introduction by Anthony Vidler.
