Description:
The plan of the building in pen and black ink and grey wash over graphite was executed by a draughtsman in Soane's office on the basis of pin-pricks transferring the design from another sheet. Soane's changes to this initial plan concern the addition of saucer domes in the main hall, and recesses in the "Eat. Room", which resulted in a change in the position of the fireplace in "Mr. Rs Room". The front porch was widened, presumably from the Doric version shown by Dorothy Stroud (1984, pl. 150) to one which includes "trelliage", showing a concern for setting this rural building in its landscape. This change, and its reflection in drawings in the Soane Museum (Drawer 4, set 4, Items 14-24) are discussed by Pierre du Prey (1986).

Description:
- Ce plan général de Bagatelle présente en premier lieu la disposition des bâtiments: le pavillon de Bagatelle, au centre, est séparé du Bâtiment des Pages par la cour d'honneur sur sa droite; sur sa gauche, le pavillon présente une saillie semi-circulaire donnant sur le jardin où sont aménagés parterres et terrasses de forme symétrique. Cette enfilade de bâtiments et terrasses est séparée par un muret grillagé du jardin anglais; celui-ci s'allonge en forme de trapèze, délimité au nord par le Parc de Madrid, à l'est par le chemin de Madrid à Bagatelle, puis ce dernier s'incline pour rejoindre vers l'ouest le chemin de Longchamps à Neuilly.

DR1974:0002:011:001-089
Description:
- This album contains mostly design development and presentation drawings for the conversion or renovation of several Parisan hôtel particuliers by Hubert Rohault de Fleury, and for the Rohault de Fleury family house, 12-14 rue d'Aguesseau, Paris. Also included are four prints of British country seats. The drawings - mostly plans - for hôtel particuliers include: alterations to the Hôtel du ministère de la Guerre, perhaps the initial conversion of the Hôtel du Maine into government offices (DR1974:0002:011:003 - DR1974:0002:011:005); alterations to Hôtel de Rothelin-Charolais (Hôtel de Conti) as offices for the Ministère de l'intérieur (DR1974:0002:011:006 - DR1974:0002:011:009); the conversion of Hôtel de Soyécourt into gendarmerie barracks (DR1974:0002:011:017 - DR1974:0002:011:027 and DR1974:0002:011:089); and the alterations to Hôtel de la Colonnade (Grand and Petit Hôtels de Wagram) as offices for the Ministère des affaires étrangères (DR1974:0002:011:028 - DR1974:0002:011:042). Letter DR1974:0002:011:037 R/V apparently concerns the alterations to Hôtel de la Colonnade. The album contains drawings for several other hôtels - Hôtel de Lorge, Petit hôtel de Nivernais, Hôtel de Bouillon, and an hôtel on rue des Quatre-Fils. The purpose of these drawings has not been determined. Drawings for the Rohault de Fleury family house include: 22 graphite design development drawings with dimensions, calculations and notes - mostly plans and elevations; seven finished watercolour presentation drawings - plans, sections and elevations; two interior perspectives; and one drawing for the roof structures (DR1974:0002:011:050 - DR1974:0002:011:083). The coloured sections and the interior perspective drawings show the Empire style interior decoration, including furnishings (DR1974:0002:011:080 - DR1974:0002:011:082 R and DR1974:0002:011:083 R). The four prints are part of a series of views of English country seats by William Henry Toms after Thomas Badeslade and William Winstanley printed during the mid 18th century: Hawarden Castle and the adjacent Broadlane Hall, Wales, seat of Sir John Glynne; Erddig (house), Wales, seat of Simon Yorke; Hather Thorpe (house), Lincolnshire, England, seat of Sir Michael Newton; and Rushton Hall, Northamptonshire, England, seat of Viscount Cullen (DR1974:0002:011:085 - DR1974:0002:011:088). The album also includes: three drawings for a château for M. le marquis de la Sainte-Aulaire, designed by Perrot, the first of which is possibly for proposed additions by Hubert Rohault de Fleury (DR1974:0002:011:013); an elevation for a temporary altar; a cost estimate for a country cottage; six drawings for an unidentified country house; and a site plan of the village [?] and vicinity of Chailly, France for Mr. Pierre Jacques Le Roy.
