Description:
- A rendered elevation (and a plan in the upper left corner) of a city-park gate comprised of a monumental central arch and lower lateral wings with fountains. The style of the architecture is Neo-Baroque. Set in a monochrome, wash-rendered park landscape with a vignette of an 18th-century horse-and-carriage in the left foreground, the line drawing of the gate is competent, although the shadow projections are incorrectly drawn.

Description:
- This album consists of transfer lithographed contract drawings - mainly plans, but also elevations, sections, and sectional elevations - for Hôtel Sauvage, Paris. The hôtel is U-shaped in plan with two pavilions connected by a monumental entrance hall and staircase which face a central "cours d'honneur". The hôtel's exterior has a rusticated "rez-de-chaussée", mansard roofs, and is embellished with classical features including arched and pedimented windows, pilasters, entablatures, and Corinthian columns. The sectional drawings show lavishly decorated interiors. The revisions and notations on the transfer lithographs of this album suggest that they were probably the architect's copy.
