The article throws light on the architectural design of Paris in the seventeenth century. One of the noblest examples of such art piece is "The Place Des Vosges." No. 6, where Victor Hugo lived-a corner house overlooking both the square and the playground of the school next door-is maintained as a museum to house the great man's personal mementos and literary relics. Furthermore, his pictures range from tiny album leaf sketches to water colors almost four feet long. The lighting is dramatic: the tamest of the architectural drawings has a nightmare quality.
