Title:

Rendering and plans for an eclectic chalet-style house with eastern influences

Date:

ca. 1860

Description:

- These plans and rendering show a chalet-style house with middle- and far-eastern influences, including ogee horseshoe arches and an onion dome. Although the inscribed scale mentions an "elevation", the draughtsman was probably referring to the pictorial drawing at the top of the sheet above the three plans. This rendering includes several groups of figures in middle eastern costume in the foreground, some of whom are riding animals -- horses, a camel, and an elephant. The background, includes two walled structures with minaret-like spires.
