DR1987:0067
Description:
- Prints DR1987:0064 - DR1987:0069 are probably for a mausoleum and include 3 elevations, 2 sections and 1 plan. The mausoleum is almost square in plan with a protruding semidomed apse and a portico "in antis" consisting of two Tuscan engaged pillars supporting a thick architrave which runs around the exterior of the mausoleum. The structure is raised on a podium and has a gabled roof perched high above the main structure, surmounted by a cupola crowned with an orb and cross. On the interior, the barrel vaulted nave is separated from the apse by a rood-like screen pierced by three doors and by a Corinthian colonnade. The chancel and apse areas are slightly raised and are accessed by a flight of stairs. A spiral staircase on the left side of the narthex provides access to the gallery, upper level, and cupola. A tomb monument or sarcophagus, composed of a rectangular masonry slab surmounted by a vertical slab decorated with a recumbent female figure, is located at the centre of the lateral wall of the nave under the fanlight.

DR1974:0002:021:001-033
Description:
- This album contains studies by Charles Rohault de Fleury of the five classical orders. The majority of the drawings are from his student years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts (1822-1825). Others are from his student years at the Ecole Polytechnique (1820-1822), or drawings executed while he was a practicing architect (after 1825). Although the drawings are not physically organized into categories within the album, they can be divided into three groups according to their architectural sources: paradigmatic examples taken from named monuments of Greek and Roman architecture, examples taken from unnamed architectural monuments or treatises, and examples after 16th century Italian and French interpretors of the classical tradition, such as Palladio, Serlio, Vignola and Delorme. The only exception to these categories is the drawing of the "soubassement" for the pavilions of the Louvre (DR1974:0002:021:032 R/V). Most of the drawings focus on the proportions of the orders, their disposition within the portico in terms of intercolumnar spacing and number of columns, and the proper moulding and ornamentation particular to each order. This album also contains four etchings of similar subject matter by Gaitte, Stévigny, Piranesi, and an unknown early 19th century etcher.
