Description:
This drawing shows a three-story, centrally planned palace. The entry portal at center features paired columns flanking niches with allegorical figures. Above them are empty escutcheons. On the walls on either side of the portal are two larger allegorical sculptural groups. A courtyard separates the entry portal from the palace, which Blondel indicates with an overall gray wash. The ground floor is mostly obscured by the gate, however it includes rectangular windows visible between the gate’s columns. The first level has large, un-mullioned windows which are not completely geometric but have a soft bow at the top. These are interspersed with Corinthian pilasters on either side of a central pavilion. This pavilion projects slightly and includes pairs of Corinthian columns at the corners. Three rounded windows are centered above the portal and atop these is a large triangular pediment with an indistinct sculptural scene roughly sketched at its center. Above the pediment are two reclining allegorical figures supporting a large escutcheon. An attic story includes Corinthian pilasters and two figures at either corner. Two square, un-mullioned windows are visible on either side of the central sculptural group. Perpendicular to the central mass are two wings that signal the palace’s U-shaped plan. These wings appear to follow the orders of the main facade and both levels feature rounded windows with low balustrades. At the top of the flat roof on either side are four pairs of allegorical and mythological figures. Projecting laterally from the main building are two single-story buildings that are likely entrances to the basse-cour (outer courtyard). These out buildings are distinguished from the palace through their rustication. Their portals have triangular pediments with empty escutcheons and lions on either side.

Description:
- This watercolour rendering depicts a welcome arch composed of a large central barrel vaulted archway which spans the street, with a lower parallel barrel vaulted archway over the sidewalks at each side. The central archway is surmounted by a dome on a drum and the entire structure is supported by four rows of columns. The arch is embellished with Gothic-inspired features such as blind tracery and pointed arches as well as shields, including two inscribed with the letter "L", flags, floral garlands, the British royal coat of arms, and possibly lights. Staffage indicates the large scale of the arch.

Description:
- This album consists of 23 presentation drawings and transfer lithographs for an 1859-1860 project for an opera house for the Théâtre impérial de l'opéra. Three drawings and one engraving for the project which are included in the album, are not listed in the table of contents (DR1974:0002:027:005, DR1974:0002:027:006, DR1974:0002:027:021, DR1974:0002:027:027). Site plans DR1974:0002:027:002 and DR1974:0002:027:003 show the opera house on an irregular polygonal site just off boulevard des Capucines, enclosed by rues Neuve Mogador, Neuve des Mathurins, du Chemin de fer de l'Ouest (proposed), de l'Opéra (proposed), and place de l'Opéra (proposed). The principal façade is two storeys high and five bays wide. Serliana arches are supported and separated by Doric columns below and by Ionic columns above (DR1974:0002:027:004, DR1974:0002:027:006, and DR1974:0002:027:007). Iron roof trusses are visible in cross section DR1974:0002:027:024. The auditorium is a modified horseshoe shape, squarish in plan (DR1974:0002:027:012 - DR1974:0002:027:014). A cross section through the auditorium shows the stage curtain with a trompe-l'oeil view of the opera's proposed principal façade.

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.

- This print depicts an altarpiece with painted and sculpted elements. The architectural framework consists of two pairs of columns, unfluted Corinthian and Solomonic, supporting an elaborate broken pediment. In the centre is a tall painting depicting the entombment of Christ in a diagonal composition, with Mary Magdalen kneeling prominently in the foreground. The top of the altar is adorned with angels holding instruments of the Passion - cross, nails, crown of thorns - and a staff with a cross symbolizing the Resurrection. - The incomplete series of numbered prints, DR1988:0306 - DR1988:0331, shows Early Baroque church facades in Rome, altars, tombs, wall monuments, tabernacles and an antique temple.

DR1990:0046
Description:
Triumphal arch flanked by two pairs of fluted Doric columns that have capitals ornamented with grotesques. The arch leads to a coffered barrel vault and grotesques covering both sides of the interior walls. The entablature is also Doric, with metopes featuring bovine skulls and alternating circular ornaments. In the attic story is a quadrilateral cartouche with a Latin inscription that reads “MVLTA RENAS CENTVR QVE NVNCCECIDERE.” On either side of the cartouche are arabesques with anthropomorphic feet and vases/urns that are also decorated with grotesque ornamentation. Above is a series of three scalloped niches. The central niche uses a highly ornamental Corinthian order below a triangular pediment.

Description:
This print shows a heavily ornamented triumphal arch leading to vaulted corridor. Pairs of columns on either side of the portal have Corinthian capitals and fluted shafts sit atop non-canonical urn-like bases. The corridor that recedes into the distance has quadripartite vaults. The entablature features two male profile portrait rondels surrounded by laurel leaves. The frieze includes putti, arabesques, and grotesques. The attic story has two urns on either side of a central fronton with a Latin inscription evoking the mythical city of Troy and the date of execution, 1534. These elements are also covered in grotesques. At the top, an empty cartouche is flanked by two cornucopia and two additional vases/urns.

Description:
- This drawing, by an unknown Italian artist, active probably in the area of Bologna in the last half of the 17th century, illustrates some of the conventions of quadratura design - the art of illusionistic wall and ceiling painting - that evolved during that century. Part of a wall and adjacent ceiling are shown as one continuous unfurling of space on a flat sheet of paper. The curve between the vertical and diagonal lines at the left-hand edge of the design indicate a modest coving. Around and above a doorway several ionic columns support an arch and archivolt which is decorated with acanthus leaves, putti, ram's head, and urn below, and satyrs, putti, garlands and urns above. A cornice, cartouche, balustrade, and scrolled pediment complete the decorations.
