On the reverse is an old label with a description of the drawings.
The Château de Malmaison, despite our expenditure, despite the additions we have made to it, is too small for the First Consul, for whom the habit of the countryside has become a necessity. He plans to take Saint-Cloud and have it refurbished. We are making plans, projects and estimates [...] and we have received orders to start work immediately.
Fontaine, Diary, dated 5 September 1801
Our friend Bernier will be the inspector, assisted by Mareux, a friend from Italy.
