Description:
- This album consists mainly of design development and presentation drawings and transfer lithographs - mostly plans, sections, and elevations - for eight unexecuted projects for an addition to the Cabinet d'histoire naturelle at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Paris. Seven of these projects are for a Galerie de zoologie, and one is for a Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie. Three types of plans, all classically-inspired, are developed for these projects, which date from 1838 to 1862. The most completely documented project, dated 9 January 1846, is represented in four pen and ink plans and forty transfer lithographs. This proposal consists of a U-shaped building surrounding a courtyard with a double row of galleries on the ground floor of the main wing. The principal façade has a colonnade of engaged Corinthian columns with pedimented entrances at each end. Two projects similar in plan to the 1846 project are dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:007, DR1974:0002:024:009, DR1974:0002:024:011), and 1842 (DR1974:0002:024:005 - DR1974:0002:024:006). Two projects have U-shaped plans with central courtyards and a single row of galleries, one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:023, DR1974:0002:024:032, DR1974:0002:024:035 and DR1974:0002:024:038), and a second, for the Galerie de botanique et de paléontologie, dated 1839 (DR1974:0002:024:015, DR1974:0002:024:017 and DR1974:0002:024:020). Three projects have plans with a single row of galleries surrounding a central gallery: one dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:026 - DR1974:0002:024:028); a second possibly dated 1838 (DR1974:0002:024:043 and DR1974:0002:024:046); and a third dated 1862 (with an attached note dated 1864) (DR1974:0002:024:059-60, DR1974:0002:024:063, DR1974:0002:024:066, DR1974:0002:024:069, and DR1974:0002:024:073-074). Eight alternate plans for a Galerie de zoologie on two sheets, DR1974:0002:024:002 and DR1974:0002:024:003, include some of the designs developed in this album. Two site plans engraved by Charles-Bonaparte Marlier (DR1974:0002:024:049 - DR1974:0002:024:050), have additions by Rohault de Fleury showing his ideas for the Muséum. Also included are a site plan for a projected addition to the Galerie de minéralogie et de géologie (DR1974:0002:024:056), a transfer lithograph of elevations for the Galerie d'anatomie comparée (DR1974:0002:024:051), and a sketch for a greenhouse (DR1974:0002:024:001).
