The volumes were composed, designed and engraved by Emmanuel Héré de Corny (1705 - 1763), a French architect, and Jean Charles François (1717 - 1769), a French engraver from Nancy. Héré was the chief architect to the twice-deposed Polish King, Stanislas Leczinski (1677 - 1766), who received the Duchys of Bar and Lorraine in the Treaty of Vienna. Héré devoted his entire professional career (1736 - 1763) to Stanislas and was almost single-handed in the design of the plans and direction of the works. The first two volumes, published in 1750 (or 1751), illustrate designs for the chateaux, parks, and garden pavilions Héré executed for Stanislas: Lunéville, Chanteheux, Malgrange, Commercy and Eineville. Also included are designs for churches (Saint-Remy and Bonsecours), the Hôpital Saint-Julien at Nancy, the altar of the chapel at Lunéville, that at Saint-Remy and so on. According to Millard: 'A first edition of 125 copies was produced . ' and that the information concerning the publication ' . is contained in the 1761 expense accounts for Stanislaw'. Stanislas? gardens at Lunéville included ?Le Rocher?, an extraordinary project of water-powered automatism designed by Héré and achieved with the skill of engineer and clock-maker François Richard. ?Le Rocher? included musicians, shepherds, a miller, a drunkard and so on, all performing actions suited to their rôles. Stanislas? guests, either strolling or boating, became active participants in the mise en scène of the tableau vivant. Stanislas? marvellous automata and their movements were described by Héré himself ?dont les movements sont si bien omits qu?ils ne paraissent point d?être l?effet de l?art.' The third volume, published three years later, is devoted entirely to illustrate the plans for the Place Royale de Nancy. In addition to plans and views of the three interconnected spaces in Nancy, the volume contains the designs of the structures adorning the processional route, including the Hotel de Ville, the Hotel Consulate, the Bourse de Commerce, and the Palace of the Military Government, as well as the triumphal arches, statues, fountains, and wrought iron grilles that ornamented the spaces. The ensemble is one of the major works of urban design of the eighteenth century. 'Stanislaw's gardens and parks were.

The designs for the new buildings, which included orphanages, schools, hospitals, churches, libraries and a new Hote de Ville for Nancy, were drawn up by Emmanuel Héré, who published many of them in his Recueil des plans, elevations et coupes tant geometrales qu'en perspective des chateaux, jardins, et dependances que le Roy de Pologne occupe en Lorraine . (2 vols, [Paris, 1750-1752]). In 1753 a supplementary volume was published as Plans et elevations de la Place Royale de Nancy . (Paris; q.v. in the Supplement). While Héré drew up the plans and oversaw the building work, the administration and finances of the King's building programme were overseen by Nicolas Léopold Michel, 'Controlleur de la Maison du Roi' (see page [1] of part 2). The second part of the present work is explicitly said to be a public statement of the accounts kept by Michel. The first part has also been attributed to Michel by Quèrard, Rau and France-Lanord (see below), and by most library catalogues (see the Avery Cat., Berlin Kat. and the BM. Gen. Cat, although UCBA attributes both parts to Héré). Although no firm evidence has been advanced for Michel's authorship of the first part of the text, it is highly likely that he was involved. The text describes the buildings not in architectural terms, but by detailing their planning and approval by official bodies, the specifications for their construction, the contracts and estimates drawn up, and the administration of the actual building work. In many cases the specifications given to Héré and to others are reprinted in full. Thus the first volume is to some extent a collection of official documents relating to the buildings, edited together for public presentation, and it can be presumed that many of the texts were drawn up under Michel's supervision. It could also be argued that primary responsibility for this part of the work lay with the King himself, who had ordered and defined the limits of the works; indeed, he is referred to as the 'Auteur' on page [8] of the 'Discourse Préliminaire', although this use of the word is more of a homage to Stanislaw's patronage than an actual statement of responsibility for the text. The 'Discourse Préliminaire' lavishes much praise on the King for his generosity and public spirit, and notes that 'notre Ouvrage est un nouveau présent que le Roi fait a? ses Peuples' (p.[5]). The King paid for the publication, which is also described as 'donné lieu a? un supplément', presumably supplementing Héré's own very different work describing the buildings. Héré's book contains 63 large-scale engraved plates and was no doubt expensive, and the present publication may have been seen, at least in part, as a way of producing a rather cheaper and more generally accessible advertisement for Stanislaw's good works. For further details of the buildings involved see Julia Rau, Emmanuel Héré: premier Architecte von Stanislas Leszczynski in Lothringen (1705-1763) (Berlin: Mann, 1973); and Albert France-Lanord, Emmanuel Héré: architecte du roi Stanislas (Nancy: Presses Universitaires de Nancy, [1984]). Both of these books reproduce many of the etched illustrations from the present work. Rau attributes both parts to Michel in a note on page 36, but in her bibliography describes them, quite wrongly, as the second edition of Héré's Recueil (p.303). In France-Lanord's bibliography both parts are attributed to Michel, although they are listed both separately and together.
