Description

Abstract:
Three engravings figuring the Reconnaissance Hospital. The first page bears the engraving of the ground floor blueprint. The second page has one engraving of the main facade, and a section drawing of a wing.
Notes:
The hospice de la Reconnaissance was an entirely free establishment, founded thanks to the funds entrusted by former blacksmith and mechanical engineer, Michel Brézin, when he died in 1828. It was reserved in priority to former metal-workers, and contained 300 beds. It was established in Petit-l'Etang, Garches, département des Hauts-de-Seine. The original blueprints were designed by architect Delannoy, in conformity with Brézin's will, but Delannoy died, and therefore the construction was overtaken by architect Pierre Gauthier. The hospital still exists under the name of Hôpital Raymond Poincaré
