DR1974:0002:001:001-105
Description:
- "[A] printed exercise book used by Charles Rohault de Fleury at the Ecole polytechnique in 1820-1821. The engraved plates proceed systematically from simple exercises in geometric projections to the most complex problems of stereotomy and construction of wooden roof sections. Many of the problems have been solved by Rohault and bear the approval seal of his professor." (Bergdoll, [1]). The group also includes nine loose sheets most of which appear to be cartographic exercises.

Hortorum viridariorumque elegantes & multiplicis formae ad architectonicae artis norman affabre
DR1986:0762:001-035
Description:
- Comprised of a title page and 34 views, the 'Hortorum' of ca. 1600 illustrates a series of designs for town-house gardens. These designs, which together form a kind of pattern book, are characterized by trellis- or gallery-enclosed plots adorned with intricate geometric parterres, topiary, arbours, pavilions and fountains. The parterres shown in plates 1 to 20 represent the artist's personal interpretation of the classical Orders -- Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian -- as applied to garden design.
