In addition, he composed well. Auguste Mayer also produced numerous drawings, a number of which, illustrating Brittany in particular, were lithographed by Victor Petit and published in Voyages pittoresques et romantiques dans l'ancienne France. Bretagne by Charles Nodier, Justin Taylor and Alphonse de Cayeux, published in 1845-1846. Auguste Mayer was made an officer of the Legion of Honour in 1867.
