During their stay, Goury was a casualty of the severe cholera epidemic that had broken out in Granada and killed 10,000 people. After taking his friend's mortal remains to France, Jones was determined to complete their joint project to produce a full-colour architectural survey of the palaces. He subsequently published at great personal cost his two-volume work, Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra, which featured 68 chromolithographic plates across both volumes, not including the frontispieces and finispieces.
