DR1974:0002:017:001-060
Description:
- This album contains plans, elevations and sections as well as written documents - the contract, specifications, work logs, letters and financial records - for the Hippodrome national, Paris. Most of the drawings and documents date from 1845, when the Hippodrome national was constructed, including the contract and contract drawings (DR1974:0002:017:025 and DR1974:0002:017:027 - DR1974:0002:017:031), a description and cost estimate, structural drawings, and plans, sections and elevations, some coloured, showing the various elements of the design. The construction of the building is documented by two work logs, one of which is probably a draft (work log: DR1974:0002:017:017:001-027; draft work log: DR1974:0002:017:044:001-038). The building was designed in the Islamic Revival style. It was constructed primarily of painted canvas stretched on frames and attached to the structural framework (Dupavillion, 81). Several preliminary drawings for the Hippodrome national are included: an elevation and plan dated 1844 and a pencil rendering of an elaborate Moorish façade, probably alternate designs (DR1974:0002:017:004, DR1974:0002:017:026, and DR1974:0002:017:060), and a watercolour perspective view, plan and section (DR1974:0002:017:001 - DR1974:0002:017:003), possibly for a different site, dated February 1845. Four drawings dated February 1846 are for additions to the hippodrome, including a portico on the front of the princes' pavilion, and a pedestrian bridge over the service court entrance (DR1974:0002:017:011, DR1974:0002:017:012, DR1974:0002:017:016 and DR1974:0002:017:037). Plan DR1974:0002:017:015 is probably also related to these additions. It has not been determined if these additions were carried out. Also included are three record drawings of the Circus of Maxentius and the hippodrome at Villa Borghese in Rome; a copy of "L'Entr'acte" containing an article on the proposed construction of a hippodrome (cirque) in Paris; and two letters requesting information on the Hippodrome national.

Description:
- This drawing is part of the set of orthographic drawings for the chapel at Saint Peter's Home, Woking, DR1989:0015:021 - DR1989:0015:028, which records the agreement between the contracting firm, Luscombe and Son of Exeter, and the architect, John L. Pearson. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.

Description:
- This drawing is part of the set of orthographic drawings for the chapel at Saint Peter's Home, Woking, DR1989:0015:021 - DR1989:0015:028, which records the agreement between the contracting firm, Luscombe and Son of Exeter, and the architect, John L. Pearson. - This work is part of a group of drawings and reprographic prints of drawings for St. Peter's Home, Woking, and St. Peter's Convent, Woking, from the offices of John Loughborough Pearson and Frank Loughborough Pearson (DR1989:0015:011 - DR1989:0015:085 R/V). Composed of contract and working drawings including plans, site plans, sections, and elevations dated between 1881 and 1936, these drawings were sold at auction by the convent along with those for the older institution of St. Peter's Home, Kilburn (DR1989:0015:001 - DR1989:0015:010). Both St. Peter's Home, Kilburn, and St. Peter's Home, Woking were commissioned from John Loughborough Pearson by Benjamin Lancaster. The alterations to the Home at Kilburn were commissioned on behalf of Lancaster's wife, who founded the home and a lay nursing order which ran it. The institution at Woking was founded by Lancaster as a home for incurables in 1882 and dedicated to the memory of his deceased wife (Quiney 67-68, 254-255, and 284). It was probably first known as St. Peter's Home, Woking, not becoming a convent until ca. 1934.
