Musée Carnavalet, France

Works by Adolphe Yvon (1817-1893), in the public domain, each linked to its record in the museum that holds it or, for the Palace of Versailles, which has no stable address for each work, to its entry in the public catalogue of the French Ministry of Culture (POP). His two huge canvases of the taking of Malakoff, painted for the Crimea room at Versailles, each measure five metres by seven and a half. The Musée Carnavalet holds the large canvas in which Napoleon III hands Baron Haussmann the decree annexing the communes around Paris, and the portraits painted to prepare it. The photographs are those of museums that place their images in the public domain (Paris Musées, Baltimore, Cleveland) or, for museums whose photographs are not free, another freely reusable photograph, whose origin is given on the page of the work. The titles are those of the museums, with their translation.
