DR1974:0002:002:001-094
Description:
- This album consists mainly of elevations, sections and plans for a number of domestic commissions by Charles Rohault de Fleury: a house in Cologne, a hothouse for M. Faquet-Lemaitre, two [?] apartment houses and three private houses in Paris, a house for Mme de Lescure, Royan, and the Administration générale des omnibus office building, Paris. Both the drawings for the house in Cologne and the three variant projects for a hothouse are probably presentation drawings. There are contract drawings, probably the architect's copies, for apartment houses for M. Piet and M. Le Comte, and houses for M. Moreau Chaslon, Mme la comtesse de Lubersac, Mme de Lescure and M. Waresquiel. A sheet of cost calculations attached to a preliminary site plan, are probably for M. Waresquiel's house. The first plan for Mme la comtesse de Lubersac's house (DR1974:0002:002:084), and the plans for M. Waresquiel's house are annotated with the functions of the rooms. The architect's copies of the drawings for the country house in Royan, given to the client by the architect, include drawings of the foundations and framework, larger scale elevational and sectional details of the architectural elements, profiles and joinery details. The function within the design process of the prints for the commercial building for the Administration Générale de Omnibus is unclear. The principal elevation (DR1974:0002:002:020) is rendered in watercolour, suggesting it may be a presentation print. The other prints for this building exhibit the same degree of finish as the contract drawings in this album, but the absence of the client's and contractor's signatures and the revision attached to DR1974:0002:002:022 suggests they may be part of the design development stage of the project. Also included in the album is a sheet of preliminary sketches for a tomb for Daguerre (not the photographer) and two small unbound sheets of sketches for unidentified projects (DR1974:0002:002:048 and DR1974:0002:002:028).

Design for a Stage Set
DR1987:0070
Description:
- This drawing is typical of Desprez's designs for flat-wing stage sets. Flanking what would have been a large painted canvas set at the back of the stage (here decorated with antique buildings on the slope of a hill) are two rows of façades receding into the distance. These buildings were painted on a series of wooden wings placed in grooves or runners at intervals on each side of the stage. In more elaborate theatres, the wings attached directly to machinery housed below the stage. The wings could be moved easily in these runners, either manually or mechanically, thus facilitating swift changed of scenery. Desprez's use of the flat wing system may still be seen, in a number of stage sets, executed after his designs, that survive in the theatre in Drottingholm (see plates IX and X in M. Baur-Heinhold, 'Teatro Barocco', Munich, 1971)
