American Architects in Albert Levy's catalogue This is the list of architects that can be found in Albert Levy's catalogue when describing the in the United States.
La lista de arquitectos americanos cuyos edificios fueron fotografiados por Albert Levy recoge, prácticamente los mejores arquitectos de su tiempo en este país.
Posiblemente la razón de que un fotógrafo de origen francés se traslade a fotografiar estas mansiones en USA es debido a que algunos de los más importantes de ellos tuvieron un proceso de formación en la "Section d’architecture de l’École des beaux-arts (ENSBA)". Destaca especialmente Richard Morris Hunt.

Richard Morris Hunt, trait d’union entre les États-Unis et la France
Texte de Paule Landon, écrivain, paru dans la revue Pierre d’Angle en juillet 2017
Richard Morris Hunt est le premier
architecte américain venu à Paris suivre les cours de l’École nationale
des beaux-arts, vénérable institution, ancien couvent et ancien musée
des Monuments français qui venait alors de s’agrandir de nouvelles
salles donnant sur le quai Malaquais…
Il y entra en 1854 dans l’atelier d’Hector Lefuel (1810-1881), l’un des
puissants architectes de Napoléon III, le maître des grands travaux du
Louvre qui lui fit connaître Henri Labrouste (1801-1875), architecte
sensible au symbole et au détail…
Posiblemente el otro factor decisivo fue la publicación de la obra cumbre de Levy, los tres álbumes, de L'Architecture Americaine debida al interés de los pocos arquitectos franceses de renombre que fueron sus editores. André Daly fils et cie. Un proyecto caro, con ciento veinte fotos en total, que debió tener una tirada muy reducida en su época.
Destacar el libro American Victorian Architecture. A survey of the 70' and 80' in contemporary photographas. With a new introduction by Arnold Lewis & notes by Keith Morgan . Estudia con detalle la historia y publicacion de L'Architecture Americaine identificando todas las residencias escogidas por Albert Levy.

States. You can see the complete second serie in the following link. In 1975, it was published the book "American Victorian Architecture" (19) by Arnold Lewis and Keith Morgan. In this book, the three series of L'Architecture Americaine are studied in detail.
"In its 120 unusually fine photographs this book is a rare, contemporary look at Architecture in America in the 1870`s and 1880`s. It surveys a wide range of notable and curious examples of and interiors, concentrating on the architecture and architects of New York, Boston and Chicago. Originally published in Europe in 1886, it was one of the earliest and mos diversified studies of American architecture in th nineteenh century, an d perhaps the first recognition in Europe of the new forces emerging in American Architecture"

The list of American architects whose buildings were photographed by Albert Levy includes practically the best architects of his time in this country.
Possibly the reason a French-born photographer moved to the USA to photograph these mansions is because some of the most important of them trained at the "Section d'architecture de l'École des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA)." Richard Morris Hunt stands out in particular. See Richard Morris Hunt Prize Richard Morris Hunt, trait d’union between the États-Unis et la France Texte de Paule Landon, écrivain, paru dans la revue Pierre d’Angle en juillet 2017 Richard Morris Hunt is the premier architect of America in Paris on the courses of the National School of Beaux-Arts, venerable institutions, ancient museums and ancient museums of French monuments that have expanded the new halls on the quai Malaquais… Il y entre en 1854 dans l’atelier d’Hector Lefuel (1810-1881), l’un des puissants architectes de Napoléon III, le maître des grands travaux du Louvre qui lui fit Connoisseur Henri Labrouste (1801-1875), an architect sensitive to symbolism and detail…
Possibly the other decisive factor was the publication of Levy's magnum opus, the three albums of L'Architecture Americaine, due to the interest of the few renowned French architects who were its editors. André Daly, sons and cie. An expensive project, with 120 photographs in total, which must have had a very limited print run at the time. Highlights include the book American Victorian Architecture.
