Histoire :
Le Château de Versailles, élevé sous sa forme primitive sous Louis XIII, transformé et agrandi dans d'immenses proportions sous Louis XIV par les architectes Le Vau et Jules Hardouin-Mansart, modifié sous Louis XV par Gabriel, avait en 1682, remplacé Paris comme résidence de la Monarchie française ; abandonné le 6 octobre 1789, dégarni de ses trésors artistiques (les peintures et les statues transportées au Muséum du Louvre, le mobilier vendu à l'encan et dispersé en grande partie à l'étranger), restauré à partir de 1808 sur l'ordre de Napoléon. La destination définitive du château fut fixée par Louis-Philippe, qui en fit en 1837 un Musée consacré "à toutes les gloires de France" ; il y dépensa de grosses sommes et ordonna d'y réunir toutes les œuvres d'art représentant les faits des personnages célèbres conservés dans les dépôts de la Couronne ou les résidences royales, auxquelles se joignirent d'importantes commandes officielles, notamment les vastes compositions qui constituèrent la galerie des Batailles. Ces collections de valeur inégale et leur distribution ont fait l'objet de remaniements successifs depuis 1895, date à laquelle fut entreprise également la restitution de précieux décors subsistant des anciens appartements, œuvre poursuivie depuis lors sans relâche et dont les réalisations les plus remarquables, sont la restitution de l'Opéra royal, construit sous Louis XV, sur les plans de Gabriel, qui a retrouvé sa beauté originale, la restitution de la Chambre de la Reine, reconstituée telle qu'elle était le 5 octobre 1789 et la reconstitution de la Chambre du roi.
Atout :
Appartements royaux avec leur décoration de marbres, de boiseries et une importante collection de peintures, sculptures, meubles (bureau de Louis XV), objets d'art, tapisseries des Gobelins, tapis de la Savonnerie. Musée de l'Histoire de France du XVIe au XIXe siècle : scènes historiques, vues de châteaux et très nombreux portraits (notamment par etc.). Le parc et ses sculptures. Grands ensembles décoratifs du XIXe siècle (galerie des Batailles, salles des Croisades...). Collection de dessins et gravures.
Intérêt :
Dès 1623, Louis XIII construit un rendez-vous de chasse en brique, pierre et ardoise. Il s'y plaît tant qu'il le fait reconstruire par Philibert Le Roy. Ce premier château correspond aux bâtiments qui entourent la Cour de Marbre. De 1661 à 1668, le jeune Louis XIV le fait embellir par son architecte Louis Le Vau qui entreprend de 1668 à 1670 la construction de "L'Enveloppe". Cette enveloppe consiste en un second bâtiment de pierre blanche encerclant le premier château et lui servant d'écrin du côté des jardins. Cette construction sera poursuivie par François d'Orbay à la mort de Le Vau en 1670. De 1678 à 1684, la Galerie des Glaces est élevée sur l'ancienne terrasse du Château neuf. Les Ailes du Nord et du Midi ainsi que l'Orangerie, les Ecuries et le Grand Commun sont édifiés sous les ordres de Jules Hardouin-Mansart. La Chapelle est achevée en 1710 par Robert de Cotte. A la fin du règne de Louis XV, vers 1770, Jacques-Ange Gabriel construit l'Opéra.

Johnson compiled seven volumes of photographs to illustrate a few of his earliest travels to Europe. This album represents volume 1 of the set presumed to be the earliest, entitled "A Summer Trip." Johnson included an inscription in each of the three volumes that reveals his motive in assembling the picture books, which in turn adds an endearing charm to his efforts. The inscription, clearly in Johnson's hand, is addressed to his then bride of three years, and reads: "Ida P. Johnson/from her husband/in remembrance of a most happy summer." He dates his gift "Xmas 1878." Most of the images are scenic views of European mountains, lakes and villages or cityscapes of cathedrals, palaces, museums, and opera houses, as well as architectural details of each. Under each image is a brief caption written by hand in a style that resembles Johnson's. Less in number, yet notable, are the photographic reproductions of paintings included in these pictorial travelogues. Although Johnson did not identify the museums or estates housing the objects, that information can be inferred by the placement of the images following those of a particular city. Johnson's captions also document attributions and titles that in several cases have been revised since the last quarter of the nineteenth century.Based on the arrangement of the photographs, Johnson and his wife began their 1878 trip in Le Havre, France. From there, they traveled to Paris, Versailles, various villages and cities in Switzerland; then on to northern Italy, Austria and Germany; and at some point toward the end of the trip, Brussels (Belgium). Along the way, the Johnsons viewed art collections from the Louvre in Paris, Munich's Alte Pinakothek, the Wiertz Gallery in Brussels and the Old Masters' Picture Gallery in Dresden (Gemäldegalerie alte Meister; now part of the Dresden State Art Collections). Among the paintings Johnson included from Dresden was "Venus with Musician." At that time it was attributed to Titian. It has been lost since 1939. Images from the Palace of Versailles include Marie Antoinette's bed and Vincenzo Vela's marble depiction of "The Last Days of Napoleon," which is now housed at the Musée National du Château de Malmaison.
