The prison, opened in 1971 by the British government, was designed to keep apart warring loyalist and republican paramilitaries, the latter demanding to be treated as prisoners of war rather than criminals. As part of this(...)

Description:
- This book contains 8 pages of text primarily describing projects by Charles Rohault de Fleury for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. The text is followed by a lithograph after Lemaitre, which depicts the exterior of the "serres chaudes", and by 14 prints engraved/etched by Marlier depicting the buildings designed by Rohault de Fleury for the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle between 1833 and 1839. The "serres chaudes" are illustrated by 8 prints: interior perspectives, plans, elevations, sections and details of the prefabricated columns. Four prints are included for the Galerie de minéralogie et de géologie, the monkey house and the reservoirs - mostly elevations, plans and sections. Also included is a site plan of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle and one print of comparative examples - mostly plans, sections and details - of English "serres chaudes", including the Warm House and the Temperate House at the Colosseum in London, the Temperate House at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, Camellia House and Palm House at Loddiges Nursery in Hackney, and a glasshouse with a semidome, also in Hackney.
